Back in action
Euro is now daily driver until it gets traded in next year so the LX9 ans 284 goodness goes in the tgp. Time to start working on this car again.
Today started with me getting the LX9 off the engine stand and stripping some things back off. Got the flywheel bolted up and dragged the 284 back into my garage. Then I got fucked after struggling to get the trans bolted up properly, turns out the damn throw out bearing was made wrong and the fingers on it hit the pressure plate so I had to rip it back apart and gotta swap it out and get another new clutch kit that's isn't junk.
Also got the odd off the tgp for ease of life. Cradle is cleaned up with new FE3 bushings installed, rack is in with a poly mount bushing.
So progress is happening. Too bad the clutch bearing was bad, otherwise the engine and trans would be sitting in its final resting place.

No, only because I can get what I need to repair the rust from the TGP that 31cutlass has.
Well the clutch went back to AZ today, not gonna mess with them. Just gonna order in a Spec clutch one of these days. In the meantime I will get the trans mated and everything in the car for mockup. Ill prolly start on the turbo headers and piping in the following weeks.
Money is tight right now dealing with Megs car (deductible, ugh) so I will work with what I have for the car currently.

Goodbye rotbox TGP, you will not be missed. Some cars are just not worth saving,.
Im done with nothern cars aside from cheap beater daily drivers. Lesson learned, another valuable life experience i will not ever forget.
Learn from my mistakes guys, beauty on a car is skin deep, its the shit that may lurk underneath that will make you wanna punch babies.
