So what happened to the TH400? Is it just sitting and waiting? Let me know how it comes out regarding placement of the pedal. Take lots of pics, I may ask you for some detailed info. Good luck!! Well since this is a winter project, I assume that we wonʻt see this baby running until the spring. I know how you love driving your ride during the winter. But hey, you could always send it to sunny Hawaii so it could "defrost". lol

Might as well clean out all the lost french fries down there, you filthy farm animal!

Looking forward to seeing more. It's nice to see guys still doing big things with the 2GS.

Whats up Ricky.....the TH400 is sitting in my garage waiting for you to buy it!!

By the way, this project isnt going to be like the rest, it aint sitting for months on end. Without any rediculous set backs, IM hoping within a month it will be running. I should have all of the parts by mid next week, so we will see what transpires!!

Hey Bob, I know bro, I didnt realize how dirty my interior was until I snapped that pic. You gotta give me a break though, the car has spent most of its life in the shop!

By the way, your car is looking damn good as usual. I cant make up my mind what side I like the best yet.

Got a few of the major parts in, just waiting on the clutch so we can get started on the tranny side of things. Pedals, Master cylinder, etc will be here next week. Im getting stoked now!!





I will take lots of step by step pics throughout the install process.

Nice, glad to see you came to your senses and kept the beast from the east, east coast that is. And better yet, now your tranny plans are coming to fruition.
