I remember there was a drive in drive out conversion by someone on ebay but doesnt appear on there any more...im looking to get mine done but lost the contact info for them...
Do you know anyone who still offers the conversion?

Looks good, might as well paint any bits that need doing in there now that you have gone that far.
I have gone for Corsa elec power steering with controller and then a manual rack with quaife internals
