i bit the bullet and bought the dowel pins from the dealer, the $7ea price tag hurt but i need to GSD

got the motor and trans together quickly, its amazing how easy it is with them outside the vechicle

was missing one of the torx bolts, but a starter bolt fits perfect

them with the help of my brother got the motor/trans in

then bolted up the slave cyl.

the heat from the day really kicked my ass, but tomorow i plan on really kickin ass and knocking alot of shit out, including welding projects even though im outta gas

 

[Dundy]
