Geezeesh.......everyone is getting really neat Bricks ! Nice going !!

As stated on other post, you have the donor car.....unbolt (no welding), remove, set aside.....unbolt, remove and replace...no welding. From the manual you will need everything as Rob pointed out. The pedal cluster(s) comes out as a unit (six bolts). I removed the drivers seat, and put an old sleeping bag in as bedding. Found it a lot easier to work prone as to being squinched under the dash.

Get your hands on a set of electricians punch cutters ( thats what I call them) for cutting the hole in the firewall for the clutch cable. Just copy the location from the manual 244.

You'll have a fine 242GLT when done...Hey, you have a fine 242GLT !!

Waiting for pics.
