Today was a bit all over the place. I removed the steering rack and column from the car, which, along with the front brake lines, were the only mechanical pieces left on the body. I did this mostly on video, so there aren't a lot of photos. But the video is informative, I hope. Also, I set up the rotisserie pivots and tack-welded them together. Because my welder is, well, crap, I would rather not risk producing welds with poor (or no) penetration on pieces that will be supporting the weight of the car. A friend of mine has a good stick welder that gets plenty hot, so there is no need to take chances. I likely will replace this welder in the not too distant future, but for now, it's good for sheet metal. I wouldn't trust it with anything heavier or more structural than that. The video is here I should also mention that I bought a bunch of used parts from a gentleman in the USA. They arrived just recently, as well. I got beehive lights (original in box!), a washer fluid bottle, telescoping arm for the bonnet, a replacement for my heater box and heater/battery shelf, and some other bits and bobs. Check out the photos below.
