yeah, it's happening. I had today off so dropped the Soarer off to a mechanic mate to deal with that nightmare - pulling off inlet manifold to find the leaks is not something I want to do at home.
MR2 is all fixed too. welded some 3mm plate over the chassis and reformed the mounts so that should be right now.
And the 120Y's tailshaft is in getting shortened 133mm (5.25" in the old money) Should have it back tomorrow. I threw the 180B SSS long 63a box in too. I like the dogleg pattern and know that's a good box - drove the Stanza it was in before pulling it apart. So it's all systems go. Had to cut 3" out of the floor to clear the shifter, and will have to mess with the console a bit but this was the best way forward I think.
