Day 29 - Donor stripping
For some unknown reason the steering column is attached to the frame with shear bolts so you can't undo them. Rather than try and get a dremel in there while still in the car I figured it would be easier to sort out on the bench
[Edit 23-02-2011] after trying unsuccessfully to cut a groove with a dremel in the heads of the bolts to undo them with a screwdriver I managed to sort these bolts out by taking out those black washers with a chisel. they are actually just very brittle plastic and once out you can etap the frame off the column with a hammer
