I found the perfect car for ME. The formidable BMW 2002.
'Old' car style. Small and light. 4 cylinder economy with the power to weight ratio of any V8 car. Great braking power. Rear wheel drive. Four wheel independent suspension. Handles as well as any modern car so I can drive the snot out of it.. It really is the total package.

Time for the 5 speed Swap!!!!!
I finally have the means to make the 5 speed swap happen. Thanks to my good friends!!!! Here is a photo breakdown of the process. I am also taking the opportunity to reseal the motor and new 5 speed. The motor was seriously weepy..
I decided to drop the motor and transmission with the front subframe. Its easier to mate the 5 speed out of the car. I started from the top and worked my way down and to the back, getting everything loosened or removed as needed.
