Kenny and I Got some more stuff done today.
First and foremost, all is right in the shop again. The old Sansui had some issues a while back, so I dropped it off at a local sound shop to see if it could be fixed. In the interim I hooked up my Kenwood stereo and it looked like this.
Not only did it look like crap it didn't feel right. Considering Dad had that stereo for over 40 years and it's been the only shop stereo I can remember, I'm glad to announce it's all fixed up and back!
Finished up with the new trans mount and set it back into place. We tried to move it farther back on the mount to gain more engine room but it appears we are at maximum driveshaft penetration (gigity)
We also cut the shifter hole and the boot (sorta) fits. We just need to solve the shifter itself issue.
Here's the state the engine bay is in now, looks familiar.
And here's the car. Swept out the shop and it's finally warm enough to work with the doors open. Feels good man.
