I dunno if I passed it or not but did you ever get your shift linkage stuff sorted out?

Kind of. I can put it in P, R, N, and OD. Linkage bottoms out after that. So I basically can't shift the forward gears manually. Not a big deal. I just put it in D and drive it.

Decided I would tint the windows and start painting the aluminum trim black. I took the car to a shop to do the back glass and the small quarter windows. I then went to Oreilly's and got some 20% tint, adhesion promoter, and trim black paint. Today I got the drip rails, mirrors, and the piece under the mirrors painted, plus tinted the doors. The body moldings will eventually be painted, too. Right now I'm undecided if I want to paint the door window frames black too, as the red looks off to me.

That was a PITA, and I've only got one side done. I had to pull the dashpad, A and B pillar trim along with the door seals. I didn't want any red showing. Looks like shag though! Also did the door handles.
