I did a full decontamination of the paint and 2 step correction, including polishing and sealing the glass. Products used....

Adams iron remover
Griots clay bar
3D One polish
Orange and white Lake Country pads
Black Lake Country pad with Gyeon Renew for PPF (slow speed and no pressure)
Coated paint with 303 Graphene Nano
Coated PPF with GTechniq Halo v2
Polished glass with CarPro glass polish with rayon pad and sealed with Griots glass sealer

Since I recently retired, it was nice to be able to take my time rather than shove it all into a weekend. The car looks better than it ever has. This week, I will clean and treat the leather interior. She has gone from a daily driver to a weekly driver.

Began the installation of H&R VTF sport springs. Upon further inspection I see these are dual rate, not progressively wound. That makes me feel a bit better.

I feel like mine is slightly twisted, and yours is perfectly aligned. Any tips?

Paging @Leader who was the primary surgeon involved with the installation. Any thoughts?

With your thumb and first finger grab the shift boot right where it meets the shifter, then slowly twist the boot clockwise to straighten it. There is a plastic ring under the boot top…if you feel for that, then that’s what to turn…go slowly. Mine was a little cockeyed, too, and I just manually turned it back to straight. 😬

Love the shifter upgrade. Totally jelly….unfortunately, not available in Graphite Blue leather with Racing Yellow stitching.
