VA New to the Rich Heritage of the Rotary Familly

What's Up members of the club. My Name is Timmy Nguyen, I Just recently moved here to the Virginia Beach area and purchased my first car! I bought a 91' FC3S, not gonna lie i'm a HUGE fan of Initial D (please dont hate me because of this!!). Anyway i have one BIG problem! My poor FC's an AUTO!! I bought it mainly for the condition and looks of the body(hate myself for it)... Please, I need some pointers from the seasoned vets of this club to give me some pointers should i switch the transmission?? If so How?? Here are some pics of my ride.

There is a write up in the tech section on rotary resurrection.com.

Rotary Resurrection home of the budget rebuild.

Oh and check out my thread Initial D FC build. I am a huge fan of Initial d also so I am building my version of Ryosuke's FC.

I feel like I got my work cut out for me on this one. Do you guys know a estimate on how much this job will cost me? Parts wise.

Cant really give an estimate on something like this it just depends on the cost of your parts Ebay can be a big help I have seen transmissions go for about 250.00 and that is really a good price all the other small stuff should be cheap as well, most of it will be an investment in time.
