Wait, was the centre console only on the higher trim levels? I just noticed that this car doesn't have one. Also, I love those seats, probably the best pattern.

engine with box

nad my new-old alternator

is that paint on the gearbox or just blasted ? looks nice

its high temp paint

you gona whip that from engine mount off and do that ? would look better painted

Loving the classics on this!

I've install them mainly to move ARB from my exhaust downpipe, houply tommorow will check diffrence

have you shaved your drivers side arb mount so it wont catch the alternator belt as if not you will have to take it off and grind it a little mate just a warning and its going to be a bit of a bitch fitting the alternator belt onto the crank pulley now as well that youve already fitted the engine.
