Well some more progress. Not much just a couple of odds and ends. Finally got the rear all buttoned up. Going to see my transmission guy tomorrow, hopefully he can beef it up for me pretty cheap. Got some shocks for the front today for free, thats always a good thing.










Hopefully ordering some parts to finish up the brake system this week so the pan will be completely done.

Well just got back from talking with my transmission guy. No building up the factory transmission just replacing the seals. By the time I would have bought the parts and payed the labor I could just buy a brand new built transmission. So for the time being The seals will get changed and just building a mild 1641cc engine. Once my daughter is born and funds come back the fun will begin.

Well it has been a while since I updated this. Sad to say I have nothing to update with yet since I just got back in town from doing work in Roanoke for the week and getting the baby's room ready for when she arrives. I will be getting some more work done this week to the pan though. Hopefully the pan will be done a ready by this weekend so be on the look out.

Well just a little update. Finally managed to run the brake lines and mount the master cylinder. I have some tweaking to do to one of the lines but no big deal. Since I will be off tomorrow I will get some more work done and post up some pictures.
