Not sure what kind of shi(f)ter it is, but it sure is annoying. You have to pull up on the ring to get into reverse. That's thing's getting yanked ASAP...

Much better than that pop rivet one! Is that a Hurst shifter? Doesn't look stock. Mk1's forever!

Didn't take long for me get back in the swing once I decided the ragtop wasn't the one...(WAY to many rivets for my patience...(photo sample included). Oh well, I didn't pay very much for it and got a bunch of goodies (some to sell, some to keep). (The shell is available for FREE if anyone wants it.. zip = 94063. No rag, no drivetrain, but has a full Kamei X1 kit though it's obviously seen better days. See pix).
I found this ad: http://www.craigslist.org/sfo/sby/car/9099492.html
After some serious ass-kissing and and throroughly laid out plan to the Mrs. I managed to pick this up for $800. (which in itself was a struggle. The kid actually tried to bleed more money out of me...over email!)

It's not perfect, but there's no rust in the critical places. Again, with some goodies to sell and some to keep - so my initial investment will be recouped somewhat...It runs REALLY strong for a 1.8 (maybe the Euro injection??) and refreshes me on what it's like to drive a mk1 again! ahhhhh... :D The ragtop and assembly has been stored away and will be transplanted in sometime in the unknown future...
If only it had tunes, I'd be driving it to work tomorrow (who knows maybe I will anyway...hehe).
L8R everyone! Jeff
