Looks like I'm gonna have to rock a stock wheel/tire for a couple days and then it's probably a good time to go ahead and get started on the 944 rear end swap...

Got a ride home and stole the drum and the spare off of the project car. At least I made it home.

Got the new pedal assembly installed yesterday. Shifts like a dream! However I would still like to try the boxed pedal idea sometime in the near future.

Been doin some work on the Panda in order to get it back on all 4 (of the same :lol: ) wheels. Brake conversion is going well and I should be rolling by this weekend. Ran into a couple issues like needing a longer hard line, finding the proper caliper bolts and swapping wheel studs, but it's moving along.
