[Ian65]

this car is going to be the dogs b*******, can\'t wait to see it finished.
It looks fantastic so far, top work!!
Have you managed to hook up the steering column yet?

[captainbizzaro]

Thought you\'d vanished mate lol.....can you drop your phone no to captainbizzaro at aol dot com just want to continue the conversation we had at rotorstock. I\'m not a stalker honest.

Steering column... hmm interesting concept - I was going to run without one, but I guess i\'ll add it to the list of things to do.
 
Email sent Tim - that\'s not you parked outside on the road outside my house in a gold RX7 on your laptop is it??

I\'d like to drop a 2nd gen sub frame into my project car but the steering column is one of the issues that puts me off. I suppose you\'ll have to put the complete 2nd gen column in will you?

[RamoNZ]

No, i have most of it figured out - its half and half and it actually does fit together once you get it all apart.
 
Ive just been concentrating on other things but not having one does make it slightly annoying to move in and out of the garage so i\'ll fit it up soon if I ever get time again!

[captainbizzaro]

If it\'s the one that just sped off in a panic then yes.

Hello Ramo I didn\'t get an email mate-didn\'t get sucked up by over excited spam filter either....could you try again if you get a minute.

[RamoNZ]

Just in case you thought I had sold up I thought I would post another couple pics to show that whilst clearly not running - I have made (small) progress....

Just a refresher - this is how she looked when I started:


And as she is now..

Its going splendid apart from the lack of effort on my part. In general its been the bitter cold (I blame it on my warmer upbringing) and last weekend was helping a mate with his 1.8T into MK2 Golf conversion which is nearly done now, this weekend I have a house move to do, but given the increasing frequency of sunny days appearing, things will be getting a move on shortly.
 
I\'m well aware there is another conversion going on right before my eyes at light speed (Timbo stop working on your car!) so I\'m going to have to pull finger and get involved!
 
Watch this space

Looking forward to seeing this! Should have a strong fast 1st gen group together for this summers shows

I might have to keep n/a to avoid having to compete with you guys though! haha

[CHC (RIP)]

All three of you guys are doing a great job - keep them going.  And of course let\'s not forget about Ian either, doing a brilliant job and that is your goal guys!
