Today i continued the motormounts.. and did modify instrument cluster and made a plan for the shifter..




The plan for the shifter:

[Exami]

So todays fast garage day, started doing motormounts:

Drivers side start was ok
then i found out that my jack is bleeding and lowering it self..
so passanger side start was fucked up... (welded it too low..)

so this:


Tomorrow im going to continue on motormounts and will be finishing them tomorrow and moving on to gearbox mounts & shifter... so hopefully weekend some startup videos
