and give the wheels a new look

Image

then came the petal bulkhead

Image

after the basis was done and chatting to some members was engine tune time :D

first thing was to clean inlet manifold and blank egr valve

Came with the gauge mate. Make sure you buy an in-line restrictor aswell as the gauge will be all over the shop
