I want to say thank you to whoever Submitted the car to Street Machine..

Alright,

Finally got the transmission to the Shop for the Rebuild,
I needed to organise which Transkit that I wanted.

I Chose a B&M 10228 Kit since they are held by high regard by a few American Racer's.

$99 Not a Bad Price, espeically from American Autos!

When i first got the car, it has a Black Vinyl Roof, That is the reason i got it.

But a few weeks later, we started rust repairs and Found that the roof was painted, and being a Poor School Boy at the time, Peeled it off, Tearing it in the process

But now for $495 I can get the Roof Refitted :)
