Did you ever consider going the GTX1 route, considering all the work you're doing? The gauge lay out makes a lot of sense.

You are either fibbing and have skills with mirrors and Photoshop or are a brilliant engineer and tech :)
Remarkably complex undertaking and excellent work. Congratulation on the progress so far. It looks like you're 75% complete. As an engineer in a different field that usually means only another 75% left to go.
All be best,
Rich

The hardest part of the paint was doing the bonnet with the deep recesses

Very happy today. Engine fired up, everything working except the odometer Air cond man is coming tomorrow to gas up the system intercooler system only took 8 litres,, Drivers manual says it hold 17litres.. Only got 20 litres into the cooling system, manual says 25litres,, haven`t really warmed it up yet, so I guess when the thermostat opens it will want some more, but not sure about the intercooler,, Have bleed the system and run the pump,, no bubbles.. Anyone know for sure how much the intercooler system hold,, Cheers
