Graft, why don't you go back to the car you got the adjustable steering rack out of? and get that panel, then you don't have to cut anything. Also, look for a screw on that plate, it may just be hiding it (the opening for the arm) under it. Our 1.3s are like how I just described.


OGWagon, no. I mean, YOu could weld in a bracket, lord knows there is room under that dash to do it. But the shaft is too long, you would also have to switch out steering components, by swapping all the exterior components between the shafts.


Life's tough when your shaft is just too big...


WagoCats HOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Planed updates for the next week:
- wintertires (with the NOS wheel-covers)
- lip (black again)
- rear mudguards
- maybe the cluster from a 1500S (heatercontrol & clock is orange lighted yet)

A friend found an old wind visor for the hatch. Maybe not OEM and only the drivers side, but I think I'll take it.

Sunday I take a look at the CRX. The hood had the same size as the hood from the hatch.

Was about the swap. Do I need new engine-mouts? Or is it more or less plug and play?

Not 100% sure. I'll try it, if I had the car here.

Lip and springs are ready for install, but I don't have so much time this days.

I just got my ZC1 but before I do the swap, I'll rebuild the engine. Swap will come next summer.
But I've some other parts for the swap yet wink.gif


I got two sets from a friend. No original ones but a exact copy.

These are the colors of the sets. Not sure which one I'll take. Maybe the darker metallic one.
