so this weekend I wanted to get the shifter in and installed and in right. I searched online and finally found a website that showed you exactly how to put it in and to get it in neutral. and let me tell you i was SO exited to see this!
so my brother in law and i worked on the car and we wanted to put in the gas tank so i can run my fuel line but we kept hearing something in the tank. we checked everything and we did everything we could not find it. i put in a magnet inside and all around and nothing. finally after almost an hour and almost giving up i looked in the filler neck and we rocked it and i saw it fly by. After seeing that we tilted it little by little and we stopped and it was right in front of where the sending unit and this is what we found

after getting that out we didnt hear anything else!
so then we get it in place but we got tired..lol
after that we took the roll of fuel line and tried to straighten it out some
and this is how i left it tonight
and more to come next weekend i am going to take the shifter off again and put new bushings and clips on it so it can shift in a better way. and run the fuel line. if i have enough time i am going to run the wiring harness from the trunk to the fuse box hope thats a good update
