Stripping paint

On Tuesday I pulled most of the rest of the removable stuff - emergency brake lever and hood release lever, the heater controls, eyebrows and upper grill surround on the nose, along with the headlights. Also pulled the door glass,window regulators and the door handles. The lower grill molding still has one stubborn nut that I haven't been able to get to yet. I think there's only three pieces of trim left to remove other than the doors, deck lid and trunk lid.

After pulling this stuff and doing some cleanup, found myself with a razor blade in the engine bay. Stripped a fair amount of paint off the firewall and inner fender wells. Still have a bunch to go, but it's progress, not perfection.

Got a call mid day Tuesday from the dismantler. Turns out the transmission they were selling me was sold, so they found another one in the yard with 35k less miles on it. Shipping is also $50 cheaper than the estimate, so double bonus.
