Very much like decorating apart from nothings flat, there are sharp edges, surface rust, grease, dirt and underseal to deal with. Mind you I’ve been in a few houses like that....

Great colour, is it the light or is that like Aztec gold (a greeny gold from memory)?

It does have a green tinge to it but not as much as it looks like in the photo.

The great American aftermarket strikes again. Clocking the quick time bellhousing centre bore before final engine installation. I'm checking that when installed the transmission input shaft will be in line with the crank centre line, any more than .005" off will result in clutch and or bearing problems. Offset mounting dowels are available to move the housing to correct misalignment, but this is too far out for that option. Hopefully Trev D will be able to make an offset centre bore adaptor otherwise a new and expesive component is basically scrap.
