Got a little more done last Saturday.
I can confirm that Chris's car is number 17.
Ok, first job was to get the front sway bar finished mounted, at this point in time I only have washers as spacers, but once I am happy all is good and no fouling anywhere, I will machine up some alloy ones.
Then it was onto the steering shaft, reading the directions and looking at the pictures I was not sure if the ute is a little different to sedan, but I found I needed to turn the mount around on sterring shaft support bearing (press off and back on - easy job), I then mounted it to bracket as supplied.
Then it was time to mount it all to the car.
Then I decided I would get a start on the dash assy.
First up I needed to remove screen frame.
Then it came time to start cutting dash supports out, I cut out each side one and bracket from lower centre (this was not described in build manual so not sure if ute is different)
Then it was time to slip the dash in place.
It was about now we needed the hoist for a gearbox swap, so we moved the 540 then I fitted the dash.
And that is where we are at now. With Christmas and New years break I think it will sit as it is for a couple of weeks then back into it.
Cheers Guys and Gals.
