Re: Manual transmission crossmember

After looking around for someone in the area who knew what he was doing, I finally took my car to a local roll cage and custom fab guy a couple of months ago. He did a great job redoing the mount. Pics are up in my personal locker, in the "New crossmember" folder.
In these pics the exhaust was dropped so I could do some work on the shift linkage, but you get the idea. At the same time I put in an STi tranny mount, and the surface rust isn't a problem either, now
Just thought I'd post this in case someone needs some ideas; basically this negates the need for an old Legacy crossmember to get things to fit properly.
This guy's web site is at http://www.paulscages.com/

Nice job!
You just gave me a great idea for my crossmember issue. Thanks!
I looked in your locker, wher did you get your shifter knob?? It looks like it matches the interior color perfectly.
