T-56 progress from tonight:

SPARE PARTS!

not quite finished yet...

Figured I'd take a quick shot while I had the camera...

[WarShrike]

Long time no post. Still doing the T56 crap.

Cleaned it up a little bit and went around to the other side of the hospital for some pictars! Untouched by shoop, will be in the morning though hehe.

Nice I have questions for you.

1. What did you source the t-56 from?

2. How bad was it to rebuild?

Thanks

1. It's an M12 T-56 from a GTO.

2. Not too bad considering it was only the tail shaft assembly and not the real gears. Still more than I'm really comfortable with. Too much magic for me in the transmissions.

Good to know. I am looking for a t56 right now for the Chevelle but most guys want $2000 for them and at that price I might as well get a Kesler kit.

Mine was $700 with the rebuild parts. So paying for an adapter isn't too far out on my budget lol!

Working on installing Corbeau CR1's in the car.

[WarShrike]

Just got this in from Mal Wood, the company in Australia that fabs these up.

[WarShrike]

Still waiting on seat rails

Installed new CDT stock style replacement speakers. Really happy that I don't have the pop-fizzle noise of the old ones anymore.

Just gotta order the clutch setup, but doing Christmas shopping first for the Wife, she wears the headdress in this household

[Ghost]

tell her they ran out of her stuff.

Just a shot at what just went in the car:

Nice! Compared to most racing seats those match your interior very well.

More go-fast!

J/K. I took the seats out and the side panels so I could do the shock change and haven't put them back since I'm working on the speakers. Cuts down on the amount of people that I can give a ride as well lol!
