On a trip with my buddies to Montreal, Canada. The car took us to from A to B, all around the city and such but on the night back, a bearing on the gearshaft in the transmission decided to blow through the bell housing. I rented a u haul and we brought it back home. With no garage to put it in, I asked my buddy to use his garage as he never uses it and he hooked me up for ONE WHOLE YEAR.

I know you guys are thinking 1 year to replace a transmission? Yes it is still not replaced and it has been about 1 year and 3 months because what ended up being a transmission replacement, ended up becoming a proper show quality paint job with me taking my sweet time and either not caring or other priorities took over.

Stripping my car for a complete rebuild (which started October 2009):
