Nice find! Basically you can swap the entire shifter/shift linkage but you need everything from where the double spring pin is backwards. I also recommend getting a kartboy rear shifter "stay" bushing or whatever they call it. Improves quite a bit on the slop.

Yeah salt isn't used here in Colorado, but mag chloride is nasty stuff. My rear quater pannels were rusted to hell. So either way mag versus salt both are horrible in the long run.

These cars actually don't have a rust problem—they're better than their contemporaries and even much newer cars, but they are made out of steel and steel does rust. It's more an environmental problem than a specific car one. Any steel car would rust under the same circumstances and likely worse. It sounds petty, but saying they have a rust problem implies that the cars are particularly rust prone like a 70s Alfa or Datsun or even the earlier 80s Subarus.
