Ok, last of the boring photos. Steering column is in and fitted, it's an ugly lump but doesn't look too bad. New ignition and switch fitted, Can move on with the rest of the wiring and dash now, although my dad keeps adding things everytime I think somethings finished. He's (rightly) now talking about alarms, trackers and fuel cut offs etc. This arrived this week too from Simon at buttys bits, expensive but hopefully worth it.
It's all about compromise I guess, it looks ugly but should allow one handed parking! It may be possible to conceal it a little more with a parcel shelf but for now it'll do. MOT is first priority.
