weld or bolt or jb-weld the back from the 924 bellhousing to the 4g63 bellhousing.

Did you seriously just say that?


The jb-weld was a joke of course, and come to think of it, I doubt I would know anyone with the skill to weld a bellhousing to that extent, so I guess it would be see if there is ...
