Found a bracket and mounted it to the tail lights frame. I still have the original springs in use also. Just have the strut as extra support. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think the cam doesn't help much either. The noise level inside won't go down with my 2 year old daughter. She is already telling me its to loud when its idling in the driveway. Hahaha.

Fitted the console surround. Got the small bolts to mount and then get it painted to suit. A few interior parts could do with a decent clean up. Sorted the gear knob too. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Its been 20 odd weeks since I purchased the VL Group A manifold. It is now in the hands of my bros in QLD. The gutting part to the story is all the trumpets/runners have been removed. Don't know if it was out of spite or what! The good news is we are having some trumpets spun up as we speak. So in the next couple of weeks it will be complete again.
