Default Unblieveable

I posted a message a couple of days ago about getting a MGW shifter for xmas and because of a missing part ended up having a Hurst installed. Well, guess what!! My g/f was cleaning up under the xmas tree last night getting ready to take it down and guess what she found? Your right, the missing bar and front linkage, which she wrapped seperately. All I could hear was OH MY GOD from her when she walked in and handed me the package. All I could do was look at her and shake my head. So now I have to call George at MGW and tell him the missing part was found, I haven't shipped the remaining parts back to him yet. I guess I'll tell him I'll keep it and see if maybe I can sell it on here. All I do now and walk around my house and shake my head over and over again *L*. mmmmmmmmmmmm maybe I sould sell the g/f and keep the shifter *LOL* [sm=smiley13.gif]

I have the Hurst and love mine -- but since you have both you might as well try the Hurst for a bit then switch to the MGW and see what you like better then sell the other... thats what I would do

I thought about that but I live in a condo and have no place to go to do the install myself. So I have to have Mustang Specialties do the install at a rate of $85.00 an hour so that isan expensive option.

^good idea. i believe that's called making lemonade out of a pile of lemons

oop, maybe not if you're having a shop do the work. perhaps you should give it a try yourself...

Holy Moly, and you asked her that exact question as well !! If that had been my wife she'd have driven 5 miles away and called me on the phone to tell me [8D]

You don't need a shop takes an hr to do. Get 2 Rhino Ramps $25 bucks, and do it in a parking space....
