wow Jonathan !! good for you , your getting there, and thanks to your parents for supporting you and the challenge.
Good things will come from this , no better way to get educated than jumping in with both feet!
I did my first engine swap by myself on a dirt floor with a trouble light in the middle of a cold Saskatchewan winter...ahh the education !

Lookin' good Kiddo! I'm kinda cringing looking at the body sitting on all those jacks and blocks though. Maybe it's just ME being paranoid perhaps though?
So what's the next step? Lotsa questions posed above; what's the answers maestro? I too remember doing the driveway thing when I was MUCH younger! Lying on my back in a gravel driveway with a tranny sitting on my chest, either taking it out or putting it back in. Then after a lot of sweating and swearing and getting the stones picked out of my back, all was well with the world! LOL! Keep up the good work pally!
