yay! update!

it's crazy how different the headliner is between the sunroof vs no sunroof 6gcs. Never knew that. All mine have always been w/o sunroof so I wouldn't know.

as for the shifter bushings, I would stick with the TRD ones. The speed source ones might be a tighter hold but the height might cause issues. The TRD bushings were taller to give room for the gear stick as the pivot point is moved up higher to shorten the throw therefore making the bottom part longer and it would hit the chassis without the extra height. That's just my thought on that. you should do a quick mockup in the car with the speed source bushings and see if the gear stick will come into contact with the chassis or not.

Vlogging might be better than writing an essay every time we need to a project update, lol.

I also went through the same story on my rear speakers. I'll definitely have to follow this build for now on (don't know why I didn't before).

ah, gotcha! It'll be nice to see how the bushings help with the stock shifter then.

Does that rear floor bar really help? Been contemplating it since it's relatively cheap.

On a chassis with 177,000 miles id say do. Its definitely a weak point cause of spare tire. How much flex. Depends on thr tires you are using

I guess it depends on how bad you want the car back together. that rear mount is a pain in the ass to change, but all things considered, really nothing "wrong" with an OEM mount.

Are you planning on putting the engine in from the top or from the bottom on the subframe?

dropping engine from the top.
