Had to redo the engine conversion anyway to replace all the homemade brackets, engine carrier and exhaust. Instead of putting them back here, the engine and trans just goes into the rear half.

Plus on the Weekender because it's not economically impractical to repair and it's already the same color as the front donor. It would be cool to have a sunroof in back limo-style. That works better for me than the poptop.
