  Day two of the overdrive install is gone, the URL is the same:

http://www.brit.ca/~tboicey/midget/midget_overdrive.html

  Today's jobs were:

  - Cut the floorpan
  - Remove the middle section of the crossmember
  - Stretch the tranny tunnel
  - Wire the overdrive
  - Remove the old tranny from the engine
  - Change the clutch
  - Put the new tranny on the engine

  Next up will be to drop the engine and tranny back in,
and make up the crossmember.

  I'll probably spend an extra day on general engine bay
work as well, I found a lot of my cooling hoses were rotten
so I'll have to make and replace all of them. I'll probably
thin them out a bit too, a lot of them were for Stromberg
things that the SUs don't even use.

  So, I'll probably have the engine back in in one more
day, but with the other work it might be two or three more
before I can actually take it out for a test.
