Man you sure can get through some work!

just curious, are you replacing the x-over with a later 2 piece or keeping it?

dealer- ouch- no doubt....of course when your laying under the car at 1 in the morning looking at the cluster of pipes under there, it maybe worth the money to just have someone do it....

Glad that the clutch was caught in the "nick" of time. Now it is time to come over and pull the 968 motor...
