i need to get a lighter shade of brown to match the steering column though. Next i will be installing the gauges into this console, and maybe a radio as well… havent decided yet on the radio.

almost there:

main things need to do yet:

  1. wire the coil on plug system, clean up some of the other wiring
  2. wait for cam gears with hall sensor to come back from DaveH, then install timing belt etc.
  3. install 1600cc injectors
  4. get it tuned (not sure who to get yet)
