February 14, 2004: The transmission is fixed up and ready to go now.
I've got a working engine ready to drop in with the tranny. It's not the "real" engine for the car but it will allow me to troubleshoot the wiring, etc. I haven't decided exactly what engine will be going in the car, but both of the likely candidates are currently powering Miatas so it'll be a little while before I pull one out.

I've managed to find a driver's seat from a 1995, so there's that problem solved. The steering column is bolted into place and the motor mounts are drilled and ready to go. The next big job will probably be the wiring while I wait for my fuel cell, tie rods and other bits to arrive.
