[FC] FC clutch

[Charles]

Thanks for the heads up, Shaun, I should take all that stuff. What kind 
of time frame do you figure I'm looking at. It will take a couple of 
weeks before I can even get up there and I have no idea where I might 
keep an engine but I should really get the front end stuff, tranny, 
transaxle and bearings at least.

What kind of donation would I looking at?


cheers,

Charles
