Steering will be mega heavy,don't think you will manage without it to be honest.

when moving you wont have many issues...but come to slow speeds/stopping and you'll need some big arms!

drove her home, wasent to bad, reminded me of the good ol days, two hands at ALL times!!!

on the move is actually not bad at all, slow speed needs breaking out the guns!!

Think its the HP line down beside the rack, best place to pick them up??? nice easy job im guessing?????

oh and am i doing any damage running her like this????

All the best guys

scrappy is where i would start. if you can get underneath the donor car you can have the pipe out in half an hour IF its not siezed in. clearance is tight, but as long as it isnt siezed can be done.  did it myself, donor car was easy but when it came to fitting it to the MK2 Golf that needed it i was under there all day, the subframe had to be lowered in the end, joy
