so...its been a while, but i finally started on the body/mechanicals. here are some progress pics.
i started with repairing the threads on my shifter locating pins. this has worked perfect, so if anyone has issues with stripped out holes, this may be a good solution.'

drilling out the holes, i epoxied some t-nuts into the holes. it was cold outside, so using a heat gun, i kept the epoxy warm to aid in the curing process.

once the epoxy had hardened, i modified a couple button head allen screws to replicate the original pins.

then the dust boot went on with an exhaust clamp from an old turbo to hold the whole assembly together for strength.

then the whole assembly went back together.
