there has been progress.
cleaned up and repainted the driveshafts -
assembled the rear CV. This took some modification, as suspected. The new rear shield would not clear the subframe, but it was very close. Grinding down the "rim" of the shield and the double-bolt-washer things to be even with the CV housing did the trick.
I then installed it and installed the heatshield over it and forgot to take a photo. durp.
Folks came by the shop and helped me with the transmission and TC. This is what we came up with to get the new TC bushing into it -
Trans and front driveshaft and TC and exhaust and all that business went in -
Thanks to McGyver and chriso for the help!
Coolant, trans juice, TC juice went in, the exhaust went on, and it's a runner!
Unfortunately, there are some electrical gremlins to sort out before I try to smog it. The cluster is all sorts of messed up, and the CEL is inop.
