Screw it! I'm converting to a stick!

Well as you may know, my stanza transmission died, I guess it was a common thing for it to happen in the automatics, I called around for quotes and what not, and some places wouldn't even touch it where others wanted $1000 for me pulling it out myself. For me to attempt to rebuild it, it would of ran at least $400. So I said screw it i'm putting a stick in it, especially since my beater stanza (a white rusty one I know own) has 220,000 miles on the original tranny and still works pretty good. Its gonna be a little bit of wiring, plus I have to mount a clutch pedal and drill holes for the clutch master cylinder. So I started to rip my dash out, here's the pics so far.

It was pretty easy with the factory print out, this took me about an hour to do and I was working slow and by myself, and taking lots of breaks All I have really left to rip out is the center part and the top dash, which involves disconnecting one harness and taking out about 5 bolts. .

This is the center console removed, a total of 5 scews.

Pretty much a panned out view of what I did today.

This is what under the steering wheel looks like.

And another pic.
