What I did on the weekend

Motor went in a while ago and was promptly removed again when the gearbox didnt fit between the mounting points.

Got the diff reco'd, almost put that in but looked at the canvas strap and thought, maybe not. An adjustable stay has since arrived from Alan Stean in QLD.

Plan to take some measurements of the firewall, floors and doors and order some dynamat, so I get get cracking on installing all the interior parts and pedals etc.

If only it wasnt so cold out in the garage...and I hadnt been so busy wasting time and money buying a house.

After another long stint in Japan, it's time to get back to work.

I started by applying dynamat to the cabin and reinstalling my pedal box and steering shaft along with new urethane coupling.

Back after an even longer stay in Japan (almost 1 year)!

Finally those pesky gearbox mounting points are off the car and the engine/gearbox can be fitted freely :D

Only negative point is that I didnt do it :rolleyes:

I bit the bullet and finally took the car to some professionals to get the gearbox mount and EFI system sorted. Cowardly I know.

Turns out the EFI didnt get sorted and the car came back with not much changed but the gearbox mount. :ermm:

Bugger. And they've only had two years to do it!
