right got  fed up off seen that oddy gearstick , , so thought chuff it rip the lot out and move it all ,

then plated all the inner sides /front and rear up

then made a fresh gearstick mount

ground it up as i had to add a 1inch to nothing angle , otherwise it wouldnt have cleared the propshaft as i dont want to removeing this again

just need to add a small plate and slighty alter front cables
least remotes high enoegh

few shots of a rough fit ,

1st gear

2nd gear loads more clearance

getting there now ,

but as i removed gear selector ive now got to cut the handbrake out next and move that too ...more fun

Seriously good work man.

You might as well have just built your own floorpan from scratch with the number of changes you've had to make.  :laugh:
