you & me both Ryan :-)

since i`ve started back racing (even tho it`s just been in the Kombi) i`ve found a new enthusiasm & am attempting to do "Some" work on this buggy every day,,, so todays job was the gearshift,,, took only an hour & i`m pretty choofed actually,,, something a bit quirky & out of the ordinary, yet cost effective & efficient... even falls into the "Re-cycling" & "environ---mentaly friendly" category :-)

i`m just tickled pink with it :-) :-) :-) ok,,, make that orange :-)

A shifter would be too heavy,,, maybe for a handbrake tho ;-)
