I made a start on the steering column however it's become very clear I need to do this with the seat in place.







Is it looking about right so far?

I'll get the rack fitted tomorrow to help the process.

Speedy progress, well done!

Have you got a plan for the body work?

Looking great so far, you've really cracked on with the build.
Take a look at the faq in my sig, if you haven't already as there are some really useful tips and answered questions in there

I've just gone through this process and found it important to have the pedals and rack in to get everything to fit (and the seats). That said I have retained all the pedals, brake & clutch cylinders and the servo all top hung as in the MX5, this may not be the same if you are mounting the book pedal arrangement mounted on the floor level

Thanks for the feedback guys and the links, much appreciated.

I'm pushing to do as much as poss atm as we're due our first in September. I'm sure everything will grind to a halt then.

A couple of hours spent today.





I found this quite stressful due to wanting to achieve perfect dimensions. As it turned out it was bang on in all but one which was out by a mm. Using enough amps generated a ridiculous amount of heat however it's penetrated well.
