ok so today shopping list was a pair of paseo seats.
Will get these retrimmed, they are moore comfy than my prelude seats and are also lighter.

Gas boot struts from a vt to do a strut bonnet conversion
also got a Ke70 rack.
Did measurements today and rack pivot length came to 620mm and the KE30 lca pivot length is 560mm way to short. So I thought about moving my pivot point out. Nah will stuff around with geometry. So I researched how to shorten a rack. And that's the way I'll be going. Will take the rack to an engineering shop tomorrow and get a quote.

got two quotes today 150 bucks that's with me shortening the outer casing and them just machining the rack itself down 70 mm and putting the new thread on it. Either way I'll be booking it in tomorrow should have it by end of next week cheering. Also got a good quote on a barina steering column and it came to 195 so all up with new rack end etc etc its costing less than 500 bucks
