Today i continue using any spare time i have to work on the little niva. I started with putting the interior back together, i had to pull back the floor mats to drill the new holes and before that i removed the boots around the shift livers. Than i looked at the preparing the gearbox to accept the engine, i chosen the fork that was in best shape, also compered the old original 39 year old release bearing with the used one i'll be installing, i bet that made a noise to were down that much. Then i painted the steel mounts in the bay because the factory paint has washed off and installed new (upgraded) engine mounts. The mounts are from a VW diesel and they are oil filled so they should provide quieter ride. Last thing i did is to attach chains to the engine so i can hoist it in place, but that will be on another day.
