Update time.

I re-qualified on the tests at work! Still gainfully employed!

A few weeks ago I went and bought a manual transaxle, the shifter, and the flywheel/clutch assembly. It was raining, my neighbor and I were worn out after pulling these parts from the Atomic Cowboy Pick-N-Pull's "way back" field. As the name suggests, it's way in the back.

I had been doing a little work on the aluminum adapter. I didn't have the right tools to grind it. I ended up being the proud owner of a 6" hole saw...

I had lots of help. I love the help.

I remembered that I needed to go back and get the pedal cluster. Before they crush the donor car. So this morning I went back to visit the Atomic junk yard. I scored this for 17 bucks:

I came home and set to work on the adapter plate some more. It's a *****. It has to be accurate. It's not fun. I worked on it anyway and ended up having fun.
