Even though I called it the clown car I do dig it. Especially now that its gunna have motivation and carving abilities.
I was curious about the shifter and what your doing there. The box part you cut off so you could shorten the shaft going back on somehow in the new forward location? or is this something you can fab up a suitable replacment?
As always your doing killer work.
I do have 1 tiny request though. Ditch that ugly black roof rack and find somting in chrome or stainless. Kinda like old VW roof racks. It would fit the car way better than that "euro trash" looking one. lol I guess the whole car is european though isnt it.
EDIT: dont worry bout the rack till after the swap LMAO
