well today I took the car for a 10 mile drive, engine runs strong but the clutch is a PITA starting out. I've already purchased a new one but I'm not looking forward to that job.

They used my top and bottom tank so looks perfect. The cost was more than reasonable and great person to deal with. He does anything.
