Plymouth Valiant Signet 4d
26 august 2011
Today I wanted to remove the other front fender. Unfortunately this one was welded at the bottom. So I had to cut it, but not a big problem.
Some of the screws are won't come out, because the clip is turning with the screw. And pushing the tip of the screw is quit annoying. So a friend made this strip, so you can easily push the tip of the screw.
When the fender was off I still had time and somebody gave me an offer for the Slant-Six 170ci. So we stayed and disconnected everything and before we knew it the motor was hanging. :-)
So out with the old and now searching for a new nice engine. The engine compartment isn't too big, but a nice V8 should be possible. ;-)
So I left my car for the weekend looking like this:

Today I went to a garage to get some info for a new V8. After that I was excited so I went back to the Valiant. I removed the rear lights and checked the difference between the original and the 72-73's. Still don't know what I want. :-)
Then we started to take out the gas-tank. It was pretty straight forward. Don't know yet how we will make the new gas-tank, but it is also something for the future. ;-)
So I had to say the car goodbye again...
So really hope some of you will follow me the coming year(s) and van give me some advice!
Thx!!
