Sounds like a good plan. Nice to hear another Bonnie is staying on the road.

Re: project: 2000 SSEi (white v.2)
Found some time to get started on this one. Engine swap went amazingly fast, 2 hours out and 2 hours in. HOWEVER, when I went to start it I ran into some security issues, and ended up spending more time diagnosing the problem than it took me to swap the engine. Somehow the VTD module went bad during the time it took me to swap the engine. Once I got a hold of the Tech2, the problem was fixed rather quickly.
More bad news though... no 4th gear. No worries though, I'm gonna fix this one myself instead of paying the $400 in labor to have the 4th clutch hub replaced. I might make a good tutorial on it too.
Couple GoPro pics of the engine swap process (I had it taking time-lapse pics every 5 seconds... have 3000 photos, planning on making a time-lapse video with them)
New engine in
Threw on some swoopies and gave her a good bath... Ed, you still sure I should part it out?

LOL, call me out on it. No, it looks good. That back door looked a lot worse at first. Glad to see another one is gonna be back on the road.

Grossness
before cleaning
drying
while the carpets dried I used a little elbow grease on the wheels
If I can get a hold of the gaskets, I think I might tear into the tranny tomorrow.
