500 is a SOLID number. That thing is gonna scoot, Dave! I want to check it out when its got a nice healthy built motor. Oh and the only thing I can think of is save the spray for the trip back, now lets get these cars. ---

Since it was snowing like crazy I took advantage of it and got everything all back in. new throwout bearing ![http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4597/img3295n.jpg](http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4597/img3295n.jpg) trans taken apart, inspected, cleaned up, resealed and assembled, Short throw also installed. ![http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/9811/img3294nd.jpg](http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/9811/img3294nd.jpg) installed ![http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6477/img3299ut.jpg](http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6477/img3299ut.jpg) short throw is perfect, clears the floor and has 2 position for the handle ![http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/2418/img3297w.jpg](http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/2418/img3297w.jpg) pedal cluster was also rebuilt, its nice and tight now and no longer has play like before. I also made a spacer to raise the gas pedal up about an inch to allow it to open the TB all the way, its also more even with the rest of the pedals now. ![http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/9087/img3296j.jpg](http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/9087/img3296j.jpg) steering column cleaned up painted and re installed ![http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6567/img3298v.jpg](http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6567/img3298v.jpg) ---
