All prises to the welding master... :pray :pray :pray I knew it was not going to be easy, knowing some of this cars history, and abuse...

I bet he hates these cars... well at least we have saved another A610.

I am missing the car, I need me 610 fix... :weed Roll on the re-build and paint job, then I can pamper the car..

Are you going to see if the old rack is repairable? I guess the new one I had that you are fitting is the last one around? I can remember at least one other car needing one so there will probably be more in time....bearings are cheap and I expect most of the other bits have other uses....
Good to see it being used.

I also think the old steering racks and any other parts need to be kept for refurbishment as it will keep the up keep of these cars to a sensible cost!
