:mrgreen: Yeah it's the second time my sj has been down to the chassis in 2 years :lol: I'm not sure if I ever want to have to do it again with this one :lol:

Got a bit done last night, all the inner sills are welded up and I've almost finished one footwell.

footwells are pretty much finished now :rockin:

Then I descided to widen the transmission tunnel a bit more just to make it easier to get the transmission in and out in the future, still got quite a bit more to go as I'm thinking about raising the transmission about 2" so that my sj has a flat belly? it will raise the C.O.G. a bit though so I'm in the decision process :er:

I decided to bite the bullet and hack the body to make space for a transmission lift over the weekend, only had a few hours on saturday because as well as working on the farm I had to fit a new clutch to the golf. The old owner managed to fit the last one wrong :er: :shock: meaning that the flywheel wasn't on straight, everything was out of balance and one of the locating dowels had bent the pressure plate :argh: I've been thinking for a while that it didn't feel right in the higher revs! luckily it seems like no damage has been done to the engine, It goes a bit quicker now too :mrgreen:

But I had pretty much all sunday on it :mrgreen: with lots of head scratching as I needed to take an educated guess as to where everything will sit using pics from last time I rebuilt it.
