Going AWD v.my1gDSM

Had some more progress in the past couple of weeks, but not much as I have been making a few decisions based on the direction of this project.

First I cleaned up the engine bay

Going from this…

to this…

All of the harness is pulled away from the frame. Both the frame and harness are in exteremely good condition considering their age.

I also found out my transmission has led a particularly hard life.

That is the bell housing side, and yes, that one mounting ear is indeed a gob of slag drilled and ground to shape. Looks pretty bad. Oh well, I will deal with that when the time comes.

Here is the engine out of the car. Nothing fancy but very complete.

I also went and picked up my front fenders and rear bumper cover from the paint shop the other day. Wow did they do a good job over at D&D Auto cars. Pics coming later today.
