Default SC400 W58 Swap in progress

Well it has begun. I have begun to acquire parts slowly and everyday and every paycheck i am getting closer to completing my SC400 W58 Swap So far here is the list of parts I have bought.

-1995 SC300 W58 Transmission
-Mk4 N/A Driveshaft
-OEM SC300 Clutch Master Cylinder
-SC300 Stock shifter



Parts I need:
-Clutch
-Custom Flywheel
-Adapter Plate
-Clutch Pedal
-Brake Pedal
-Clutch Lines
-SC300 Shifter Bezel

My plan is to have this completed by the end of January, a late birthday present for me and an early one for my SC. I will keep updating this as progress continues. Thanks for all of your support CL!

Good start. I went the hard way and used a MKIII transmission. It could be done, but I ended up buying a MKIV tail shaft anyway.

I have a MKIII clutch pedal for sale if you're interested. There's a thread floating around here on how to make it fit in the SC.
