Good work Richard!

By the way did that transmission vibration when you were stopped ever go away?

I figure that was the worn out roll stopper, Ive got a new one to try out. I can't wait until she runs again. I just gotta wait for my new radiator to get here.

SHE'S ALIVE!! - Not yet, still gotta drain the gas tank and a few other small odds and ends. But the engine is installed and all the bolts are torqued.

Edit: After 2 bad radiators from Advance Auto (top was smashed on one the cores were bent and cracked on the 2nd) I found a local shop for $270 that would get me a brand new OE radiator. They claim its made by denso or whoever made the factory originals. Gets here Friday so we will see...

The frame rotted out, and I let it be parted out.. Don't worry. The turbo setup will live on in something else, and the new transmission I put in should make it's way to Eli some day I guess.
