Great videos. I am working on updating a MK 1 as well and I was curious about the part number for the steering shaft grommet you are using. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the feedback.
Grommet that I found as being the best option is Help/Dorman part number 42344. Hoping to have it installed for the next video.

Been a while since I have updated anything. The weather turned on us here and the car is now put away for the winter. I will be posting some videos this winter as I do have projects/work in the pipeline, but have been side-tracked with my other project car trying to complete an engine swap with it. More to come.
-
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of this car being dropped off at my house. Crazy how time files. Still working on my MR2 engine swap project, once done, Cobra work will resume. A lot on the to do list.

Memories, quick video of my first drive (coming home).

On another note, ordered Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 setup yesterday so there is going to be a lot of change coming to this car over the next few months.
Enjoy!
