Today I finished painting up the engine bay.
I used some clear Metalflake over the gloss black I sprayed and it looks awesome.

I then started on the interior after the rain stopped pouring down. I took out the Auto shifter and installed the Manual shifter.
The manual cables just have a rubber grommet and the auto has a hard plastic blocker bolted to the body with a metal cable brace too. So it was such a PITA to brake free and slide the new setup though the small opening.

Here is how the new shifter and the new "Dildo" look sitting in the car. It really does feel nice and I don't hit the stereo when I shift.

And to top it off I went Nascar on the tires lol.

That's it for now. I hope to get the tranny this week and slap that beast of a setup in the engine bay.
