Gone very far to the Dark Side

New tires arrived today. NITTO NT01 in 275X45X17 & 315X35X17.

Will have them mounted & balanced tomorrow. New dash blank might not be available till May, FFR is mostly shut down but a skeleton crew is working. If one is there they will ship it.

Done with the tires, brakes, lubrication,changed differential oil & partial tear down of dashboard. Stopped work on the dash because of no word on the new dash pannel from FFR.

FWIW 275X40X17 have good clearance on the MK-IV. Noticeably wider than the 255X40X17 were. Gym is closed for the duration hope I will be able to turn the wheel.

Will start removing the TKO-600 transmission tomorrow to replace the clutch.

Starting to remove transmission to get to the clutch. Took pictures this morning so it all goes back together correctly.  Not too dirty for a 5 year old almost daily driver, makes working a lot easier along with pneumatic ratchets.
