June 17, 2004: The driveshaft is finished and in the car.
Talk about a tight fit! I had to disconnect the parking brake cables but that's all - that was a relief. If the shaft was even a tiny bit larger in any direction I would have been out of luck, too. But it fits! Once it was in, I fired up the engine and got a feel for the clutch travel needed. Big moment - I have a complete drivetrain! The rear wheels happily spun as I let the clutch out with the car in gear. Vroom vroom!
