I would like to go through the shifter if it’s still around.

Quite enjoyable

Glad to see you were able to finally acquire it and get it home. Could not go to a better home and your friend will be smiling looking down on you.

I know it’s not original to the car but I added bumper guards. I love the looks of them.
