Looks pretty good bro.
If you were thinking about going from A/T to M/T and decided against it I think you made a good call. You got enuff on your hands with out a clutch pedal, new ECU and such.
Black is pretty cool color for hiding small defects.
While the engine is out be sure to do the timing belt, front seals and the water pump, you'll be damn glad you did, trust me, been there, done that.

BTW in 20 years of racing I have found this gasket sealant to be THE best, it cures in 24 hours so plan accordingly.
