You are quite the videographer. Looking forward to more. One question: Where did you get the poly inserts for the dog bone (engine torque strut)? I like that. It looks like it slips in without trimming the lip off the side.
I've got links to everything I used/bought at the end of each video and in the video description, but here's the link to the poly bushes I used

I basically went through every bush on the superpro website until I found one that was close... And i was lucky as the one I found and used in the video was within 1-2mm of the original dog bone bush in every dimension! Super lucky. Also just happens to be made for a Fiat 132
Yeah fits right in with no modification the pin goes in easy too, I just filled the bush with a bit of polyurethane adhesive as it moved around very very slightly and I wanted it to be a bit more solid.
I thought this mod was great, will last a lot longer than the rubber bushes!
Oh and the gearbox originally came out to get 3rd and reverse fixed up, ended up needing a lot more work but when I put it back into the car it got stuck in gear. Turns out the selector rod got jammed inside the gearbox as it was extremely worn out so got it replaced, but now I have no reverse gear (we suspect it may have be installed incorrectly) so that will be getting fixed in a couple weeks...
There's always something!
