Sorry for dragging my feet on this project, my garage has been feeling cramped and been working on designing some stuff for the 4Runner the past year instead of the Celica.

Decided to switch gears and just ordered a manual steering rack from an MR2. Its just too much effort to get the power steering rack I have to fit, especially since my LFX motor is set up for electric steering.

Other good news is a couple weeks ago, the guy I bought my Celica from found me the hatchback glass my car is missing. Messaged me out of the blue. Better yet he only wanted $50 for it, what a legend. I couldn't find original rear glass for my Celica, they only made the hatchback in the US for two years, I had resigned to use plexi glass or get custom glass made, but for $50 this sounds like a better option I just have to drive a few hours for it. Big thanks to the guy I bought my Celica from for reviving this build.
