Got the rack back in this morning, trickiest part was realigning the steering column to the rack, but I used a block of wood across the wheel and a tape measure to get it straight. The wheel does feel a bit tighter, but I won't really be able to tell until I get the car on the ground.
Then I dropped the mid-pipe and heat shield, called it a day and went to drink beer at Tim's Rivershore in Dumfries for a few hours. Tomorrow I'll pull the drive shaft out, but I need to order a few odd parts before I can put it all back together.
I also need to pick up a new midpipe from a junkyard, an O2 sensor (mine is so seized in that attempts to remove it just round off the nut), and some flanges for the new midpipe. THEN I need to sucker someone with a welder into coming over and helping me install the flanges. **COUGH** Kaan. **COUGH** I pay in beer, lots of beer.
