loading it all back in there

I loaded the engine and trans back in there, and put the subframe where it should be.  I also loaded the structure for the interior back in there to see what my options will be for the steering column.

Everything in there looking tidy.  I over exposed this to show some of the detail not normally visible.  My marker lines on the floor and the engine stand made it pretty easy to position the engine exactly where it was before.

Progress.  #4 should be "kill huge horse flies all over the place."  While I am on the subject at least one mouse has eaten the poison I put out.  Hopefully he hasn't chosen the Lotus as a quiet place for his dirt nap.

Here you can see the steering column hanging down inside the car.  The slot that it went through is pretty far to the right.  I am thinking that I could flop over and create up to that same angle to the left and a little higher up and have an easy time of making the angles I need down to the rack.

Suddenly lots of room in the shop with the engine, trans, subframes, and dash frame all in the car.  Must fight the urge to buy equipment! (JK)
