    I've been busy. I've been reworking the drivetrain on the car for sometime now. I finally got a T50 and everything I needed to swap it in. It took about a week in between school to get it completely installed. I also sanded and primed the car to prevent future rust.

    Busy work space, lots of junk to move around.

    The clutch pedal was easy to mount, trimming the brake pedal however was insanely difficult. I had to take a torch to it at one point since my cut off wheel could do no good.

    For the gearshift knob, I went with a TRD knob similar in shape to the original, but leather wrapped.

    After installing everything, filling it up with gear oil and bleeding the lines, it drives great. I'm probably going to run synchromesh because 2nd gear is sometimes difficult to get into, but besides that it drives fine.

    Yes. The 4AC stopped running and I was bored of trying to diagnose it, so I took it out and am prepping to put the 4AGE in.

    Of course to install the harnesses, I was forced to take apart the interior, I found a significant rust hole that I'm not too sure on how to address:

    I was able to find a passenger side seat, however it is slightly different to my zenki seat. I'll have them matched when I reupholster them in maroon.

    Lastly I recently acquired this gem of a tape deck. A Technics double-din AM/FM/Cassette combo with graphic equalizer, still sounds excellent and needed a little bit of work to get the eject mechanism working. FM circuit is dead though.
