Hi Everyone,
I took my GT I purchased in November to the mechanic finally after the weather broke in the northeast. I have an oil leak from the back of the motor and wanted to do everything right as this is the car I'm keeping for the long haul. Mechanic said the motor and trans look good and are keepers and I just need to replace gaskets. I'm having him pull the motor and am having him replace all of them. While the motor is out I'm taking the car to the bodyshop I work for and am taking this time to paint the engine compartment. I have the normal wear and tear from a 22 year old car and some rust on the frame rails which this is my chance to take care of. I plan on doing a full repaint and jambing the car after the motor goes back in. Here is my questions: Other than the gaskets and replacing the clutch what else would be a good idea to do now while the motor is out and things will be easier? Also what kind of clutch would you recommend? I will take pics throughout the process and plan on doing this car right. Any opinions are appreciated.
Thank you
