First drive tonight! Man-o-man that was awesome! It's been 20 years since I've driven a manual and I'm loving having to get used to it all over again. No strange clunks or shimmys or whatever. Sounds really good in fact. Video coming soon, too bad it's at night.

Here's the first drive video. Sorry you can't see much but I finished late yesterday. The custom axle shaft arrived at like 5pm and then it took a couple hours to build, boot, grease and clamp the new completed cv axle and install it. It worked out perfect. Only issues so far are a couple fuses need replacing, a/c compressor clutch makes some noise sometimes, a/c is not cold, and lights don't turn on automatically at night. Must be the sensor in the dash.

I've edited the first post parts list to reflect up-to-date info now that I'm this far. My axle should arrive today! I'm excited to finally get this finished. I hope to God that nothings fubared with the axle as I've been waiting a month for this part of the project.
