So, I have still not come up with a solution for routing/connecting the power steering high-pressure hose or found a suitable location for my dry sump tank. However, I figured it would be worthwhile to get the body installed on the chassis, if only as a temporary measure. This would allow me to, hopefully, crack on with some easy jobs and make faster progress.
With alcoholic beverages on offer as a suitable bribe, I managed to enlist the help of some friends to lift the body off its support frame and lower it onto the chassis. It needed a bit of jiggling to get the body to sit evenly on the chassis, but once that was sorted, I could get all of the body mounting bolts in place. I haven't bothered to fully tighten them all as the body will be coming off again.

It felt like quite a major milestone getting the body on, and it's certainly dialled the motivation levels up to 11!!
