Looks good! Are you going to get a reversed inlet fanimold at some point? That inlet pipe must kill the flow!

been spending most evenings trying to get vini back together ready for the riviera run next weekend.all the electrics are sorted,exhaust is sorted,arches are on and most of the outside trim is all on. took him for a quick spin round the block for a quick tester and managed to get back with out breaking down lol. main problems are with the gear linkage,i need to get under him tomoz and try adjusting it again.i thought i had it sorted in my drive but was a real pain out on the road.plus im not happy with the bouncy back end with the new beam and coilovers so will have a look at that tomorrow. anyway heres some pictures i took today.Dean.
