Right, motivation levels are high. Have everythign I need for manual swap except driveshaft (have a few leads workign on it for me however). There is a high chance I will need to make up some adaptor pates for the gbox x-member although no biggy.

Also picked up a set of bike crabs , should be a bit of fun. I think i will have to run extractors (what a shame...) with these as the facotry intake and exhaust manifolds are botled together with a little flap inbetween so wont really work. (well I could make a up a blanking plate and bolt it on.....but is a good excuse for a nicer exhaust I guess)

Onwards!

Looks like Ive got a driveshaft sorted, maximum choiceness.

Might have to celebrate with a couple of blue top bevies....

just 4 speed at the mo. if a 5speed turned up on my doorstep I wouldnt say no but yeh, not keen to the price they go for.

Carbs will be a bit off, will get the manual swap done and all working then get onto the carbs I think.
