Default manual shifter install

Hi all, I have got a short shift kit off eBay and am looking to install it, but I don't really have the room or equipment in my garage to do the job. I've asked at a couple of local garages and they are wanting to charge $200 - $300 for the job, and I'm sure its just that they don't want to do it

So I was wondering if anyone here on AFF in Melbourne has done this install before and would be willing to give a brother a hand. More than happy to slip a pineapple? to anyone willing to help.

I live in Melton but willing to come for a drive if you have the tools and time.

Cheers in advance
