Trans apart. The sea of blue towels is because it wasn't empty.
Almost empty case.
What I have cleaned and set on some clean blue towels. I'm getting very close. A little closer each day. Once the trans is in, I'll get the engine wired, plumbed, and cooled. Also have to finish the fuel system. Tighten the tank straps, run the rubber line, install vent lines, etc. I'm pushing it on time..
Sorry about the crappy pics. My phone was about dead. I turned the resolution down, too, but not the size.
