Add another $160 for pre-assembled units. Then there was all the stuff to convert over the fuel system; fuel pump, high pressure...

Good job mate! Wish I had time over xmas for lude stuff. Instead just resenting lack of time for lude stuff. Your interior is looking swanky!

not too much for me but i did get a nice shiny new 1/2 drive torque wrench ive been wanting. so ya thatll come in handy on the lude

If that gets rid of the fuel smell then you know that is the problem. You can...
