        Updates!

        Removed the wiper box and master cylinder and brake booster. I have a feeling I'm going to have to do some cosmetic surgery if the wiper box is to ever fit again. Upgrading to a 92+ booster incase I ever decide to put a TKO in this beast, plus they look better!
        Going to undercoat the firewall to match the rest of the car (which was factory undercoated)

        Timing cover sandblasted and ready for paint:



        Speaking of which, my poor shop vac was getting anally devastated by sucking dust out of the blast cabinet so I made a quick mod with crap I had laying around. Now I just bang out the filter every now and then right inside and were good to go!

            +1 92+ booster... they work better too. Less digital... better braking.

              Looks good, though I would have drilled and tapped the lower before painting...

                  something tells me its 3/8 NPT but I won't swear to that. Could be 1/2.

                          Thanks Mike, I knew the size was something NPT, have to order one.

                          And thanks Dave, you of all people know it's all in the details!

                          @ Serge, step it up!
