    With help from a buddy we figured out a way to install the shifter without having to buy a $300 trans tunnel! Now to remove the column shift lever later..

    Pulled it out of shop for our Thanksgiving/Christmas party this weekend. Still some work to do but it pulls itself around.

    What transmission are you running? Prior to the Lokar shifter how was the column shifter hooked up?

    It's a c4 and it just had some hard linkage, I would guess from whatever the column came out of which I haven't figured that out yet.

    Starting to really have second thoughts about this car.. which sucks because I really like how it looks and remember it when it was good.
