Is there a tutorial or instruction on how to replace a fixed position steering colum, with a tilt/tele steering column? or am i doomed to create one? :P

The answer's obviously no, but aren't they all tilt/tele adjustable? Hell, my EA and EB are and they're both base models.

As with everyone else, i thought they all came with them. Unless of course the colum shift models didn't.
In this pic you can see the lever that controls the tilt/reach of the wheel Now, either the colum shift models don't have this feature, or the different bottom cover that you have on your colum covers this. Take the cover off and have a look, you may get lucky. Cheers

Just a thought.. If the column shift steering wheels were not adjustable from factory, isn't it likely there is a reason for it?

It's ok though, I got my destruction fix today - brought it to it's final resting place today which is where it's going to be stripped. Couldn't be stuffed pushing it into place, so with the help of a 2.5 tonne forklift, I got it to where it needed to be! As I'll have fork access, I won't need to leave the steering column, so I'll try get it out within 2 weeks provided my airbag tool arrives in time. You need covers or anything like that?

Ok... to bring up an old thread...
I have been offered a BA Steering column... can this be fitted to the AU1? as the overall looks and function will suit the BA Dash conversion i am planning.

Looks like you'll be the pioneer!
Personally I'd just live with it's taxi heritage, or use an AU tilt column.
