Lol there's always something to upgrade ...

I have no real use for big brakes , I don't drive like an idiot on the streets and don't do track work so can't justify spending money on bigger at this stage , in the future well who knows.

Still need to finish tranny cooler lines , power steering bottle , heater hoses , powder coat blower , fill with fluids , wire in battery to boot , triple check fuel system then hope for the best.

Thanks to James welding skills I have myself a custom set of fuel rails , spent the day polishing those and all the brackets for the bay.
Just got a few hoses and powder coat the blower to do and its ready for cooler pipes then fire up :)

Wow, looks amazing. Should paint the over flow lid body colour to help hide it a bit. Probably not a huge concern though, lol.

Great work.

BTW, has your passenger side airbag cover always been perfect or have you fixed it during this rebuild ?
