Hey, who was the guy who did your wiring? Or is that something else you can do?

I did intend to do a build thread on turbo minis and i'm a member on there, I just never documented the engine build.

The forum has been invaluable during the build though. I think it was even your build thread on there that caused me to double check what oil pump I had fitted, it turned out to be one of the at fault pumps. It was a little annoying having to take the engine out again but most likely saved me a lot of heartache later down the line.

I got a carpet set from Newton Commercial and some extra material to cover additional bits. I then set about adding binding in places. I have found that some areas needed trimming to get a good fit.
Few pictures of progress, the main sections still need a little trimming and then I'll add binding to tidy up the raw edges. I will also make a handbrake gaiter and sew it to the carpet.

Those carpets are looking great love the idea you have done of hiding the battery away looks so nice tidy and clutter free.
