great job, I'm looking forward to watching the progress. I also started young and my dad drove nothing but station wagons. funny how "car guy" can skip a generation.

Still without a motor and so its been doing little things throughout the car. The two snags i hit are that the screws at the bottom of the glove box lid disappeared (anyone know what those screws were? i need to replace em) also the bolt at the gear selector/linkage keeps stripping the threads... Dont know what im doing they just seem not to work there.

It was of the bolt below where the TT mounts too. I had a stripped bolt there but decided to cut my losses on getting to the RMS. It was replaced in Jan (i believe) but i wanted to get back there and replace it again for piece of mind (previous owner took it to an awful european shop in town). Thanks tho, Fara

Update:
I got the motor home after class today finally. I did water pump and was aiming to get on belts but the missing hardware for the covers delayed me. So when i got back it was dark and I couldn't wrench any more. (No electricity, so I cant work in the dark). Tomorrow, the Belts should be done and it should be getting placed back in the car.

So it looks like its in but I hit another snag... Cant get the bellhousing to mate to the TT/driveshaft. I tried to re-angle/realign but still being a major pain. My thought is to remove the Transmission and pull the TT back enough to mount up the motor and then guide the shaft into the BH. Any thoughts/ideas will be appreciated.
