I finished replacing the heater core and blend door this weekend. The dash is put back together and new heater core hoses are installed.
My friends assembled my new topside creeper from Traxion. Wow what a difference it makes to have that in the garage. I was able to get back behind spark plug 8 where the heater core hoses are at with a lot more simplicity.
Next up is to remove the intake manifold and replace the gasket, while it's off replace all of the spark plugs, coils and boots. Replace the fuel injector o-rings, replace the valve cover gaskets. Replace the thermostat and the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as flush the radiator/cooling system. Parts are all ordered. Wish me luck, but after doing the heater core job, I think nearly anything will be easier. With the topside creeper it should be a heck of a lot easier to tackle this next project.
