it runs and drives as is right now, but i dont know how far it will make it before something takes a crap. im leaning towards that the only problem with the transmission is that the TC is done for. it shifts fine, but lockup seems to be intermittent and it has died on me a couple times coming to a stop which makes me thing the TC is staying locked and killing the car when i get slow enough.
the only other thing that this car would need is suspension. otherwise a little paint if you care about that.
