Also your build is amazing. Love that it's on new wheels now
Most drive-thru's are out of the question in this car, depending on the age of the pavement, most are rutted too bad and I either get stuck or get questioned about those "god-awful noises my car made".
Stupid thing.
Anyways, went out to the shop tonight, for once I am actually excited to work on the car. I set out to get the subframe and steering rack switched around, including switching my N-body control arms into the RHD subframe.
LHD out back, RHD up front.
Switcheroo all finished:
I think installed it in the car and decided that working on the car for an hour tops was not near enough for tonight. So, I turned my attention to the inside again.
With machine like precision, and four zip-ties, I temporarily hung that bracket I removed last night and bolted in a steering column. From there I eye-balled it up and tightened everything down, and installed more dash parts to make this more a reality for myself.
After the blood left my penis and returned to my head, I crawled under the dash and measured up some brackets to attach that column bracket back to the firewall. I should've definitely done that while the dash was out.
Tomorrow's goal is to get the column mounted square, solidly, and have the bracketry welded in for good.
Thursday I plan to have the hole cut in the firewall, which, at this point I feel will need no major modification to do. Quite excited.
Definitely on track to have this thing steering itself by the weekend.
