My timetable? Uh....summer/early autumn before things cool down too
much.
The one thing I am purchasing that we can mount on the frame ahead
of time is a new steering rack.
Other than that, I want to move everything over. Most of that stuff
is new. I realize it would be convenient to just plop the body on a
ready-to-go frame but too much of my exisiting car is newly replaced
to just throw away.
Oh, two things I did just think of, it would be a great time to
replace the clutch, pressure plate and TO bearing, maybe have the
flywheel turned and replace the engine mounts. Those are some things
I haven't done. My clutch is just fine but "while I'm in there...."
