    Motor is done, has been for awhile but just balanced the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch. Everything is balanced!

    Will get close ups soon!

    Finally put the dash back together!!!

    I'm thinking of using a 75A alternator so I will still use the bypass but wonder if I want to do the rest of the wiring through the bulkhead.  :popcorn:

    Well I'm almost ready to put the Dash back in, thanks to Cody I have measurements for the Jhook which I'll make and then get the heater back where it needs to be. Man I didn't know the pedals would be a pain in the a** but my metal guy put the auto firewall back in and not the 4 speed one as I had to put the pedals in and mark the clutch pedal mount holes, pull the pedals again, and drill the firewall.

    Had a minor flood today with the torrential downpour and had a river running through the garage - great fun!

    Thanks Pasir

    It seems like it's taking forever but I think it will come together before summer.

    I went with the 3.23's because I have the 4 speed in there and didn't want to hear it whine while on the freeway. I will definitely bump them up when I put the 5 speed in.
