Prior owner, Jim Chambers, had MSX gears for autocrossing. Car is quick, but it made it trying to be on the interstate. I decided to put the standard Z gear in for 5th. This work is being done by Tab Tanner at Autobahn Garage in Findlay Ohio. Here we are aligning the engine/jack fitting.

it is at a normal body/frame shop. they use a computer and lasers. they put reflective pieces at prescribed places. i haven't seen it done, but they use chains and jacks to push/pull it to where it is supposed to be. we could see the hit in the right rear frame, forward of the suspension point, and see how it resulted in a push out of the suspension itself. they assure me they can put it back where it belongs. i'll let you know.
