Finally got the car going again. I changed all the gear linkage bushes and then couldn't select reverse. Had to order the alignment tool and that made life a lot easier.
Finally found time to replace the throttle body. Found what caused the failure. Turns out the strut brace was hitting the throttle body. Time to modify or get a new brace. Probably have to change engine mounts too.

Looking good.

I really like to see such transformations. Unfortunately, I have no skills to achieve anything like that. I am from Alabama, United States Zip Codes, and I know several guys who did miracles to their cars. Sometimes, I always like to visit different shows of this type. I am always impressed by people’s creativity and craftsmanship. Great hobby.
