Having just finished making a 2-1 merge thing myself, I applaud you on managing to do it without any flexis. 

I put three in, for "cant be fucked" reasons when it didnt fit nice.

Yeah I was nearly gonna put one in the driver's side before the merge if I hadn't just welded up a giant gap, there are two bellows up at the v-bands off the headers which give me a bit of leeway

Ok team, I've always wanted a black interior with orange accents in this, but having an upholsterer for a brother and having seen @Dudleys green interior that he's been doing for him I'm tempted to give a brown and cream interior a go. 

I've been looking at @_Matt and @Snoozin's interiors a bit and have a mostly mint factory brown dash. I like the subtlety of Richies interior.

I've got Recaros, a Twincam 16 Toyota wheel, a Black Racetech 4100 and a huge box of interior bits. I'm almost tempted to go brown top and tan lower.

Thoughts?

I can't be the only one who immediately thought of this.

Fuel pumps don't seem to like sitting around after running in my experience. Which makes them a pain on project cars. Even worse if there is a bit of moisture in the fuel (from sitting around in half-full tanks)

Yeah I've learnt that lesson the hard way. Hopefully this car won't be doing much sitting around now that it's almost drivable.

Just when you think there is some hope left in the world. Then you hear both @Dudley and @dave  being involved in increasing ride height
