And I thought my frame was bad! You are making great progress. What a wonderful treasure of documents you found. Is that a B/W pic of your car, or part of the manual? It's a good thing this car found someone like YOU with skills and tools, she was on her last legs. Another couple years and it looks like it would have folded up on itself. it will be fun to watch you save her!

Where is a good place to order roadster motor mounts? The ones of the G15 broke in half.

I haven't worked on the roadster but I'm about to get cracking on it.

Does the transmission fit in the tunnel now that the ribs are ground, or are there more mods required to the tunnel?

Trans fits in the tunnel, but just barely.
I have removed the tunnel forward of the e-brake handle mount in order to repair some of the rust and the tunnel will get re-mounted and removable so that I will be able to service the transmission. I had seen where someone did a roadster 5 speed swap and made the tunnel removable. Tight fit in there.
