After market steering wheel, I cut and rewelded the adapter to move steering wheel about 25 mm closer to the dash, lets me stretch out my arms a bit. Dye is wearing off the wheelskin. Shifter is a cut and welded Mr Gasket shifter for a truck using rods to shift the 700 R4. Seats are Ebay ($110 shipped for pair) been in car for a year or so, surprisingly comfortable , been working around wood so lots of sawdust in car still

My BTO 700r4 would not go into 4th, only 1.2 and 3, so pulled it, bought another trans for now, Last night i started taking it apart, according to the internet my issue was a bad forward sprag , sure enough, when I got to it, it was cratered, hopefully, replace that, re assemble and good back up trans,

Making a fixture to hold the trans in place really was a good use of time, makes it mucho easier to take apart.
