        It won't be for long.

        It just takes some time to get all the parts to recondition the transmission and the components needed for the swap.

          WTF!?!? I thought the amount of money I dropped into my ETA was crazy. HOLY SHYTE!

          WOW, that is an amazing restoration job. And there looks to be no cutting corners with these dudes.

                Wow, got enough selector rods? :p Also looks like you've got an early model sheet metal shift console and a late model G260 (they don't fit together) but I'd suspect you're on top of things.
                paint sucks

                  The whole transmission kit was a package that I got from a friend so there were a lot of parts that were included that we are actually going to replace or don't need. He just threw them into the package to clear our his garage I suppose. We'll make it fit. I'll be posting about it soon once we get to that point. :)
