I purchased the mini starter a few months back, but have not installed it yet. I purchased an aluminum heat shield at the same time. When I get the ambition to pull the header on the passenger side, will be about the time I finally get around to changing the starter.

Over the weekend finally got the rear view mirror properly attached, turns out there was a flat mount on top of the wedge mount. Amazing how much easier it is to use now, was driving me crazy that it would go on but was not really secure. One thing down, about a million other little things to go

It's back! :banana: Finally I can now start on the Body work, Paint and Rust issues, not much of Summer left but I am going to be posting my progress. I will continue to do as I planned IE; fore mentioned body work, all the same time I am saving my A$$ off for the 350 Engine and Trans swap which if everything goes right won't happen until about next March.

The Car does still run, but with a diagnosed spun bearing It's only going to be moving around slightly mostly up and down Ramps.

I dun fugged up, again.
Went to try to stab in the S10 ZR2 driveshaft, and realized something was off with the yokes.

Turns out the ZR2 driveshaft (left) was behind a 5 speed, and not a 700r4. :wax:
I think both the g body driveshaft and S10 one use the same 3R u joint, so I’m going to pound one out and see.
