You need a new rack to start. Have the choice of the fluid or electric.

in my local scrappy theres a sport...so the rack and pipes are available,i have a pump and engine mount off my sport but im curious as to what route to follow,should i make a custom 1.2 mount?
are there any electrics or is it purley mechanical?
does the electrical power steering require a lot of work?
