As I said I haven't been taking many pictures, but I have made quite a bit of progress. The engine is completely back together up top and both motor mounts are done. The mounts weren't too terrible but one side was soaked with oil from the oil filter housing leak and both sides had drooped quite a bit.



I changed the fluid in the transmission. Lifetime fill? Well, if you consider that this car is starting its second life then maybe that makes sense.





The flywheel is back in and I planned to do the clutch and transmission today, but when I looked at the clutch kit, there's no alignment tool. Of course the only one I have is for a five-speed car and won't work with this one. Super annoying. There's really not much more I can do until I get the transmission back in the car, so I'm at a standstill right now.
