Foam lined the floor, and fitted the interior. Just the center console to fit, but it need some modification to work with the manual transmission.

Fitted the battery in the trunk, the rear light harness and tested the electrical stuff. Everything worked with the exception of the head lights, which turned out to be a faulty dip switch. Swapped it over and it's working fine now.

Got the exhaust system fitted, and tidied up the engine bay a bit. Just the heater motor relay wires to tidy up.

Last few jobs are bleeding the brakes, door and trunk seals and check its running OK...

Fingers crossed done this week...

Are there roller rockers under those tall valve covers ?
Stock rocker arms suffer from lack of oiling with tall covers.

Doing a great job, always pleased to see updates.

They aren't particularly tall covers. But yes there are roller rockers and lots of trick parts hiding under there...

Stu, it really is almost there.
