I got a load of bits through from the US on Friday, and the house is starting to look more like a parts store than a house. One of the bits that arrived was the rack and pinion steering. I didn’t want to have it sat around for ages, so I pulled the original steering off and bolted it in on Saturday. Apart from convincing myself the ball joints were on the wrong side and swapping them over and then back again it was an easy install. I need to fit the column now to cut the rod to length so I can get the UJ’s in.

With that done, I decided to stick the chrome V8 emblems on the back of the wings. I wasn’t sure about them, and wanted to see if they looked “right” or not. Still not convinced, but shiny bits are good. I also put the raingear wiper system in, which was an easy install. It tucks up under the dash neatly and leaves the firewall nice and clean. I want to get as much of the under dash stuff in so I can find a position for the LT1’s computer and see how much space I have for the alarm, and stereo bits. The dash needs touching up first tho as it had a massive run on it. Will do that ad shoot the glovebox cover and ashtray at the same time.
