OOPS a minor hiccup

OK so I start to scope out my needs this car was running fine.
bought it for 600.00 and drove it at night in the rain to Miami from north Broward county Approx.45 miles. no noises no leaks a little hard on steering.
now to start spending money :(
1.brakes-Turner-drilled rotors, SS lines, PBR pads, wear sensors, Blue Blood, and disk bolts
2.Springs-Vogtland
3.Front Shocks-BavAuto-Billie Sports
4.front strut mounts
5.reman. front and rear ATE Calipers

That's a start so I put the car up on 4 jack-stands to begin and low and behold the stroke fairy comes to visit

switched gears As in shifter

I changed my mind after I bought the parts to rebuild my early plate shifter I found that the bolt bosses for the tower brackets where 8mm instead of 10mm:curse: I think this was for a plate steel arch that I have seen in one of the forums. So I had scrounged an aluminum bracket on one of my salvage yard dives that I proceeded to buy the rear support and Delrin bushings and lock for.
this is old one with new front supports, rear tophat bushing and center stuff new. will sell if some one want these.


so after getting Z3 short shifter and cup and link washers I installed
