Rewind to Day 1. The clutch was toasted on that very evening after I picked up the car. And car had to be pushed around during the paint job...

Cause of death: Untorqued flywheel fastening bolts by last mechanic


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Perfect reason for clutch replacement. So one week afterwards right when paint job completed, Science of Speed Sport Clutch arrived


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Here we go...:

Shift knob assembly out


Alternator + A/C compressor out


catalytic converter + banana (exhaust manifold) + transmission out


Old clutch


[Repeated] Cause of death: Untorqued flywheel fastening bolts by last mechanic


New Science of Speed clutch in


New Science of Speed clutch installed

Seems like a lot of work to repaint a silver car, a different shade of silver. Why not just buy sebring silver? Great build, love the progress.

the build went way too quickly, which you forgot about the RSR springs you installed as well
