Replacing the cast iron shift linkage on a 4spd transmission on a 1973 Datsun 510 in the parking lot of my future wife's apartment. I had the part to put in, but the roll pin is down in a box inside of the tunnel with no way to get a punch on it to push it out. Took Friday afternoon and most of Saturday to get the roll pin out and 5 minutes to put the replacement in. Did I mention it was 10 below zero in February in Eau Claire, WI with a 10 mile an hour wind? Same car, replacing clutch on Xmas Eve. on the floor of my parents unheated garage or rebuilding a brake caliper in my future in-laws gravel driveway in the snow in the middle of winter with limited tools. God, I hated to see that car go.
