The first task was to complete the
transmission tunnel by fabricating
a top closing plate along it's length.

This was closely followed by the dashboard. The folds were reset to make it fit perfectly, the mountings were fitted and then it was simply a case of bolting it in. Once in place it gave us a position to work to for the steering column which didn't require that much in the way of modifying once the hole was cut in the bulkhead.

A little splash of paint and it
was ready to go.

To connect the steering wheel
quick release system to the
column required an adaptor plate.
A lot of cutting, filing and drilling

Many hours and sore fingers later...
