I feel ya man, I always go a bit overkill on almost everything I build as well. Sometimes it's just fun to build something how you want it, even if it isn't really the most efficient or economical way to go about it. Well you can rest assured that your trans will be planted in place for many years to come.

Alright so I made some progress today, got the trans brace mounted and installed, I didnt get a pic of it installed tho...and then I got the trans tunnel pretty much built, all thats left to do is finish up the welds and clean them up and seal it. Should have all that done next weekend and then onto mounting the fuel cell.
Gonna leave the hole on the left so I can make sure the final angle of the selector rod on the shifter isn't too extreme, shouldn't be but this is the only way ill be able to tell.
Also picked up these seats from e30_pare
They are super rough, but got them for a good price and gonna bring them to an upholsterer tuesday to get them all fixed up, I think something like this will look good in the 02

Will post an update this weekend, I have been super busy with some side projects and will be this weekend but I hope to at-least finish the trans tunnel, which is almost done, and then get onto other parts of the car finally
I am going back and forth on the seats, part of me wants to use the Recaro trophies I picked up for it a few years ago, super comfy and still light weight. And part of me says fuck it put the corbeau seats in it. I am not sure yet.

Not really, been working on some side things for the last week or so, and getting my Jetta back on the road. I hope to have some updates this weekend though.
