   New Kidney/Center Grill

   These are (and have been a while) on back order here in the US.  I snagged this from a German vendor, with shipping it was a bit more than the lowest price I have seen out there (but not a whole lot), Turner Motorsport has then listed at $250 but again back ordered.  I had thought about sending my old one that has dings/dents to Speedway Metal Finishing (I hear good things about them), but regardless of how good they get the metal, you still need to have the part anodized, really hard to make it look like new.  Will look great with the new plastic grilles I have as well.....

   Gearbox

   It's been a busy few weeks.  Lots of progress from headliner to rear suspension to wire harness.  Getting close to lifting the engine and gearbox into place.  

    

   The gearbox has new gaskets and seals.  The input, output and gear selection seals were replaced.  When I got the car there was a fair bit of oil coming from the gearbox which turned out to be a worn gear selector seal.  

    

   In the shift linkage, all the rubber bushings and blocks were replaced to give a nice solid and  precise shifter feel.  

   A final coat of paint and fill with Redline MTL meant it was ready to be mated to engine.
