No questions, just a realization that I think I’m going nuts!

I spent this and a few other afternoons removing all the parts from my ’72 144.

I’ve had this car since 1993, bought it for $300 and put about 120,000 miles on it. Taking all the parts off is strange to me, kind of like doing surgery on a friend. I have found myself taking time the remove parts and still avoid unnecessary damage to the parts of the car that will be thrown away anyway.

It’s a neat learning experience seeing how the car must have been put together at the factory. I would have liked to see how the wiring harness was installed on the assembly line. At least I got it out in one piece. It had to be one of the first things installed, though after the heater core and wipers, but before the dashboard, etc.

Anyway, my intention is to either have a junkyard pick up the shell when I’m done or if that costs too much, I’ll cut up the shell and try to get some cash for the steel.

Definitely something wrong with me if I’m putting this much thought into it.
