Amazing work Steveo, puts most people to shame really

Here's me all excited about fitting a 3.5 engine.... Do I have to compete against you next year? Or will you be in EDC?

another good day

well after finishing the gearbox mount yesterday i thought id look into the shifter whole.... the problem is that the r154 shifter position is about 60mm off center forwards.

so i toyed with cutting up the alloy shifter which is the normal mod but i dont like the idea chopping the selector and housing as it makes it a non standard item so if it breaks i cant just buy another.....

so i moved the whole in tunnel and cut the gear lever up as it was to long any way....... looks mint









well a bit of a solution when i cut the shifter it was hollow so needed a bung and found a hydralic fitting that was spot on and with a little, how bon would say it Weldanting it was mint
















also cut the front pannal so i could fit the headlights
