Day 3 - More basic and minor disassembly

There are times when you shouldn't go to the garage... I caught a bad cold yesterday(again) but I really wanted to do something on the car project, so I went to the tool shop and got some new wrenches(inch type). Since I live in Sweden all my tools are based on the metric system, and thanks to you guys never wanting to use a real system I will have to get double sets of everything, stupid inches! ;)

Today my cold was no better, but my girlfriend called me at work and told me she had gotten the stomach flu. So I chose the lesser of two evils and took my chances with possibly making my cold worse and went to the garage. :)

I started by removing the vent below the door latch striker.

This is what it looks like removed. I disconnected the two cables
seen above.The connector I am holding goes to the post opera lamp.

Removing the post opera lamp bezel and lense is easy,
just one screw on the top.

The socket is secured with two screws and is
just as easily removed. It can stick to the vinyl
roof so carefully bend it loose using a screwdriver.

If the cables from behind the vent have been disconnected
the socket can just be pulled out with the cable attached to it.

This is what it looks like without post opera
lamp and vent below door latch striker.

I started to bag and tag all the details, screws and bolts I've
removed. There is no way I'm going to loose anything now. :)
I don't have a picture showing the tagging, but I wrote
the name of the part and "passenger" or "drivers side" on the bag.

More bags and my '89 Dodge RAM B350 in the background.

Just for fun, the other vehicle I own.

Mopar performance in the garage. ;)

So, that's about it for today. As soon as I've recovered from my cold I'll head out again. I think it's time to remove the rear lights and bumpers. Stay tuned and be sure to follow this blog!
