okay i have come to my decision. I ordered MMR Mounts sat. So I will pull the motor/tranny and do the mounts, oil pan, and clutch. A long with cleaning up some wiring and grounds that have worn over the years. I see it as a good time to clean the engine bay out and have a nice looking car come spring, seeing as i wo nt drive it till than.

i already drilled a hole but i hit the shield behind it, and cant get the tap started. I plan to remove it and move the shield away a little than tap and put the fitting in, i know it will fit though.

okay the driveshaft is out. had to find a hoist and the only place that rented was closed, so i bought a 2 ton hoist from HF or 130 on sale from 199. ill try to pull tomorrow, and hopefully everything was removed.
