Funny how reading back on this you realise how behind the 8 ball you are...!
Well the short version is, I chucked the steering into the racecar, and - well stoofed it big time. Had a full half turn of free play. When it got pulled apart (again)Motiv8 discovered the culprit - I mashed the bearing and it was even missing a couple of balls....
So we hunted for new ones, finally found them just before christmas...
Last weekend the steering went back together, which meant engine could go in, which meant gearbox went in, which meant it came off the axle stands for the first time..... actually since i got it home all those months ago.
Next is the rear end and fuel system, trailing arms, tramp rods, cage and seat and is is literally ready to go.!

Another study found Australians drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means, on average, Australians get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud to be an aussie.
