Transmission tunnel, that is. Now I'm probably going to have to get it running and drive it.

Did you paint that tranny or is it actually that clean?

No paint, but it really did a number on my toothbrush, and since then the toothbrush doesn't taste very good.

Look at the windshield! It's been on stands for over a year, and I kick up alot of dust in my many dirty activities. It will look better once I can get it outside and hose it down...

Looks good. Is it a Rotary Resurrection rebuild?

It's a DIY rebuild with Atkins parts (3mm apex seals). I'll let you know every swear word used while getting it started.

Were there many swear words used when connecting spark plug wires? Its easier to put them on before the oil filler tube

You did get that tranny nice and clean, and the power steering pump and AC/compressor too!

Looks really good, but damn it's kinda too bad because you didn't clean the engine bay out to compliment all your hard work.

Still looks good though.

Wow, that was a mess you had on your hands! Cleaning parts is 90% of having a great running engine.
