I have been lurking for a few years now so thought it about time to post my build.
my car so far can be seen here, http://www.astina gt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18798 .
Made the shifter mount solid to the floor so no more rod from trans to shifter mount, only the actual shift link and converted the cupholders/shifter trim to a bootless setup yet to be painted.
