I havent updated in a bit. I've been collecting parts and camping, so I havent had much progress, and then we had quite a heat wave, with high humidity, so I didnt want to go into the garage.

I managed to put new seals in the 5 speed, and it's almost ready to go in. I want to clean tehg rease off the crossmember first. Which requires me to drain the 7 gallons of purple power out of my solvent tank and add the good stuff my friend picked up for me, or maybe I will just toss some in a bucket. Probably the later.

I managed to find a 5 speed 83 montero at the jyard the other day and snagged most of the 5 speed stuff off it. I picked up pedals, clutch master and line, block off plate for the auto, pulled the front drive shaft but didnt buy it yet. I want to make sure the entire driveshaft lengths are different and not just the yokes. at 32 bucks a piece I dont really want to freaken buy one if I dont have to.

I'm going back tomorrow for the lock set, and any other tidbits I still need.

I'm also waiting on a clutch disc to come in. Hopefully it will b here tomorrow so I can get the trans and engine in. We are suppose to have cool weather for a bit so I sshould get my butt into gear and get the clutch pedal holes drilled and the pedal installed and a lot of other crap.
