The previous owner told us the hell hole and longs had been done and he seemed like an honest car guy. So that was dumb and naive of me. It was clear that a bunch of work had been done around the hell hole, which looked good from the engine bay. When we got it home and on the lift we were faced with a rusted out lower firewall.
Ordered a firewall repair panel. We pulled the engine today and cut out the lower firewall and it’s pretty ugly.  |

Tim,
I've had two 901 boxes, one perfect and the other not so. Neither would shift into 1st unless I was at a dead stop. Great work by the way. Maybe see you sometime this summer if there are any MA meet ups. John |
