No, it's spent a lot of time outside, where all my previous projects took place.
Paint is in it's future.

Yes, except 86 doesn't have the TV cable. It popped out without a hint of grief, unlike the C beam.

In an unrelated action, I changed the tranny oil & replaced it with Royal Purple 70w-90w gear oil and it has NEVER popped out of gear since. This was over a year ago now & still no popping out of gear. The tranny is significantly quieter and shifts MUCH smoother with the Royal Purple; also no leaks. GO FIGURE?

FWIW

Is this the overdrive lube fill hole? If so, do you just add auto tran fluid until it reaches the top of the plug hole? (click to enlarge photo)

^^Yup, you just put ATF in there until it is full (or spills out that same hole) and then button it up.

I forget which type of ATF

No, I was going to, but I have decided I don't want to open a can of worms, this late in the year. I will leave it to a REAL winter project and hope that a linkage adjustment may help. The pop out is so scarce, that I'm not too concerned.

I will upload the stuff you want and PM you a link.

I think before you start counting the money you need to first start detailing that jack. Maybe chrome the wheels, powdercoat the jack in a nicer color. Then maybe add some wood stain to really compliment the package.

after that man I see pure profit .....

nice work though if I ever gotta do my 700r4 thats what I will try.
