A few new pictures

I was fairly bored today so I decided to make my own short throw shifter and polish and wax the formula.

Process
-Wash with Meguiars Gold Class wash
-Clay bar with Meguiars clay bar
-Wash again with Meguiars wash
-Polish with meguiars step 2 polish(x2)
-Wax with Meguiars Gold Class paste wax(x2)

As for the short throw shifter I made it out of the stock one and love it. I can catch the gears alot quicker now.

Yeah I know I thought the same when I first did it. Now though I love it, I have really gotten use to it.

Looks like your tranny fell to the ground and took the shifter with it! That thing is low.

The car looks great! Very clean.

Ok here are some pictures of my custom shifter that were requested.

And this one is when it is in second gear, all of the others are in neutral.

All I did was cut the shifter so from the bottom of the boot to the threads it measured six inchs, and then I did my crappy weld and bolted it back on. Not too bad for half an hour and being 17.
