It's Wifey Wednesday! Time to do some more work on the Renault/VW Beetle project. In this round, the floor pan is finally painted and I can start assembly. First though, I need to shorten the gear shift rod to suit the shortened VW Beetle floor pan. I also make my own shift rod bushing, which is a huge improvement on the factory version.
