Broke first gear in my M20 on a back road being stupid

Time for the T5 swap!
I had to make a custom shifter. As you can see its a tight fit.
The shifter is a Hurst short through for a ford T5. Its been modified slightly and half the price.
I had to make a bracket for this conversion being that im using the stock 4 speed cross member and the T5 transmission has a wicked angle on its mounting point because of it.
