ITB Build Part 8 - http://omgpham.com/itb-build-part-8

Since the wiring tested perfectly, it was time for the interior to go back in =)

I replaced my crappy carpet with carpet from an NB, pretty much the same thing. I did have to cut some holes for the seat belt buckle because mine are bolted to the floor, I believe the NB buckles are attached to the seat rail hence no holes in the carpet. I would definitely recommend the NB carpet over the NA, it feels much nicer and usually found in better condition than older NA stuff.

Roll bar back in, super clean carpet =D

Super happy with how the flip-panel turned out, looks awesome and gives plenty of protection for the fuse/relay panel. And yes, the kiddie seat is gone now.

You're the loom master and that's a very clean install, good job!

Looking very good there, John. Hope to see the complete work at the next Nebo gathering.

So had a chat with wozzah aka Warren Heath Performance...

Since the camshafts I'm getting are "huge" and need to be dialed up with adjustable cam pulleys, I've decided to hand it over to someone qualified to dial them up. Once I get it back, I'll throw the engine back in and get it running. Then take it to the dyno tuner to finalise the cam settings.

I've made a list of workshops to get a quote, but greatly appreciated if anyone can make further recommendations too.
So far:
