You're inspiring me to pull my motor this fall, clean it up and fix my oil leaks.

Cleaned the transmission today. Got most of the new seals in. Man-o-man am I looking forward to a dry transmission... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)
I was surprised by how much oxidation/corrosion there is on the transmission. It looks dirty, but it's just pitted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

More done today. Cutting the old metal out. Nothing too horrific. I wasn't planning on doing the engine shelf, but I figured, why not...
I also took out the rear window and cleaned out all the layers of old sealant (stock, silicone, then more butyl) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Nice progress Mark. I picked up my SC front suspension today and am actively looking for some 16 x 6 fuchs. If you want those pedrini's let me know.

I am pretty sure they are OE on the 72. Everything on the car from the paint on down is OE....

If you want them they are yours ... Just what ever you think is fair. You can just put it on the balance sheet for when the 72 comes for metal work.

a little more progress... I got a set of bus carbs to run the 1.7 motor I got from Jeff K. Which I guess I never mentioned. I sold my motor while it was out. So I was motor-less for awhile and Jeff offered me his old 1.7 which I took just to get me back on the road. I'm just trying to focus on getting on the road, not building the best car possible.

Whats up Mark. Good to see you in Sacramento a few weeks ago. Can I ask you to post a better pix of the exhausts that you have on that car right now. I don’t think I have seen that you before????

Hey McMark! Any chance you could do a detailed expo on cleaning and sealing the trani (or point me to a good how to). Mine is leaking like a sieve. I already have it dropped, I just need to know the best way to clean it and seal it back up.

Thanks,
Brad
