Looks like fun.

What the hell is holding your engine IN your car?

And you really should always support the brake caliper at all time. Even if its just a second with no support, you can kink, crack, and split the rubber line. For real, I cringed when I saw that.

When I do my tranny drops, I leave the struts in.


Looking good, keep on keeping on.

Same thing went through my head... Then I realized its a bonne, but i think i'd still put a couple wood 4x4's across the top with a few straps if you don't want to spend the money on a nice one. That steering shaft is going to be a ***** to get back in and correct when you put the rack back in too...

I think your going to need more alcohol

I would have taken it out the top. I hate laying on my back.

i had to do what i had to do with limited tools and the engine is held up by two concrete blocks and 2x4's on top of them

the beer tab is going to cost more than the trans rebuild
