i am thinking of doing a longitudinal Ls engine with manual transmission no stretch by using a 1990 Acura Legend 5 speed the picture is a automatic but as you can see the differential is way forward

i did a small amount on the floor of the car today but i just have zero motivation or interest in working on the car as i walk under it all day long while it is up on a lift all week long i thought by running the engine a few weeks back it would get me back excited about it but it did not .

I've found that on personal projects, you have to go with the flow. Trying to get something done when your not into it just makes more work down the line.

Not everybody is the same, and Mark is a do-er. I find when you don't feel like doing part of a project and you push yourself to just do a little piece of it that it reinvigorates you. Some people will spend eleven years and never finish a project and just punt to a different one. That's actually how I don't get things done too.

Looking good buddy! I like what you did w the seat, was anything underneath the pan that needed to be moved? Im thinking aabout doing the same to my project. I was thinkin about the kennedy trans too but I think the ls motor will be too far back and mess w the weight of the car. Keep up the killer work!

Tomorrow's agenda is to get the tail lights in and putt the gauge pod back in and swap my doors out for the power window doors not sure i will get all that done as someone might come in and need some work done but August is a slower month due to vacations and school shopping
