So I ran out of steel before I could finish the steering rack mounts, but got it mostly done, so after that I decided to start roughly mounting the steering column to see if its going to fit at all or not, looks like it should work out pretty reasonably!

really hard to say 100% till I get a seat in there, but it looks like it should be pretty close to stock steering wheel location so that's gotta be good enough!

I also took some steering rack shafts in to get shortened, so once that's done i'll be almost in a position to get the shortened rack rebuilt :)

also need to make a call to McDonald bros racing to see what they can help me with for the rear end ;)

At a bit of a stand still at the moment while waiting for parts and such, so i got the wheels back on and pushed it out of the shed to have a bit of a clean up!

thought it was a good oportunity to take a phone while there was nothing in the way stopping me :)
