Lol I was waiting for that, I had to modify the steering column To make it fit as the power steering box sits a lot higher that the non power steering box. Nothing dodgy, not like before.

have you got any photos of the steering box mounted? i have some parts, just want to see what i need to do as im still rolling the column change

I put this damm thing in today, Talk about a pain in the ass. It had to be done, One step closer on getting her back on the road.

Just had a massive catch up on this build. Wow! I'm so glad this car is getting the treatment it deserves! Everything is excellent, keep up the good work

Hey guys sorry for the lack of update's, but really there hasn't been any to post. Me and Missy moved in together. So we have been getting on top of bills etc... I haven't even started the new engine yet as I still need to buy the oil cooler lines. Should have them in a few weeks hopefully. How ever I did buy a bigger oil cooler for my RSfour waggon and used the old one for the datto. I was going to mount it on the front bumper (Like the old school JDM's) but didn't as the oil cooler is the wrong style and I don't want the car to be visually loud. How ever I have scored a nice jdm front grill for it. Waiting for it from Japan.

New grill from Japan fitted it today. Not sure if I like it just going to leave it on the car to see if it grows on me.

Boss kit came from Japan on Friday. Fitted it today as well as my oil cooler lines (nylon fibre braided hose) I had a hard time finding the oil lines as I didn't want plain black/blue or stainless steel braided line's. I'm getting new headers next week as I didn't like the ones I have. Getting close to starting it soon.

yay nice work, i love your progrss on this. will i get to see it in person at akaroa?????

Got these today. Much better than the Australian made ones I have. If anyone is looking to buy headers for their L series six cylinder, I would recommend them to buy them off this guy. Trademe user name (jedsplace)

looks good.
how well do the headers clear the steering?
