I used to have to make and deliver pizzas in a red polo shirt and slacks, lol. Needless to say I bought the sturdiest most stain resistant slacks I could find, and somehow managed to keep them from getting too many sauce stains and what not on them
and the pizza place had 3 or 4 pot dispensaries within a mile of it, so yeah, people would come in and say allll kinds of crazy shit haha

2 of the 201 shifter holes will line up and screw in stock, you will have to drill 2 holes for the other 2 bolts, otherwise it will work just fine on the 123 body.
Did you grab the shift gasket too? that will be needed also, the 123 one does not really work for this stick assembly

05-24-2012, 12:05 AM #20More good news today I found a 60 trim t3 from my mustang hiding in the bottom of a box along with a 50 trim both look massive next to my 45 trim on my om617 and tiny necpxt to my vt50 lol bad news was later to follow my horse was found in the woods bleeding profusely from a front and rear hoof so there will be a pause in the progress after the vet bill I haven't seen yet but I can't seem to think it will be cheap
I'll be following this quite close, plan a 606 into W123 (IF I ever get some spare cash!_)
Good news from Dropnosky on the W201 shifter and the W123 mounting-holes...
--So, Theoretically, I could get a rotten 2.5D 5-speed W201 with manual trans and just change the whole lot from engine back-plate rearwards into the W123, on the back of the 606....
Dunno at the mo just Where to get W126 engine-mount arms though--Not a particularly common car here anymore!....
