i've found the mower is a great parts/ bolt finder :roll: :lol: word of advice, don't try finding a flex plate with this method... damn near took dads foot off (and i'm still hearing about it 7 years later, don't know what he's bitching about, he's got another one :lol: )
great to see your getting into it, just stop, stand back and take in what you've done and how your going to do the car or it will overwealm you very easily.
cheers, luke.

Whatever you do make sure you have a clear plan in place before you start repairs/re-assembly. Budgets blow out once you start re-doing things because you've changed track half way through..
