ok so update time!!!:D
this is how the engine bay looks now...crossmember in and everything attached:)

we had to fill the gap between the 2 parts of the steering colume and instead of making a big awkward spacer we cut the colume and extended it with a bar and just bolted the 2 parts together...so there is no rubber joint anymore:)
