Got the steering linkage installed. That was the final bit. Steering is dead solid, no slop at all. I was concerned that there might be some slop in the steering rack since I got one from a junk yard, but not at all. I expected it to tighten thing up some, but not as much as it did. Amazing that just a tiny bit of slop can make such a big difference in steering feel.

So, at this point the car is 100% fixed, now, when time permits, I can focus on upgrades. Eventual plans are 15" wheels (ESM or Ronal mesh), koni shocks, and some upgraded sway bars. I also need to add a subwoofer as the 5.25" speakers in the car are definitely overtaxed. Not jumping on these right away, plenty of time, and I need to focus on biking more.
