All together after nearly a year to have the transmission rebuilt and to go thru the engine.

Did it hopefully put a BIG smile on you at your first test drive? All systems go? |

Got to do the safety wire on the carb today. I just drove it around the block but it shifts nicely. I did the shift bushing replacement and that was not fun but worth while as now I can find the gears!
Today I'll go fill up with gas and drive it around the city as a shakedown. _________________ 70 Ghia Black convert-9/69 build date-stock w/133k 1600 SP-barn find now with a rebuilt tranny and engine

No, I took it to AAtransaxle as I knew Darryl and his son took over after he died. Lots of parts for the rebuild as it was fubared inside and lots of stuff needed replacement.(i.e. bent shift forks etc) I did all the engine work. _________________ 70 Ghia Black convert-9/69 build date-stock w/133k 1600 SP-barn find now with a rebuilt tranny and engine
