Here are some progress pics. Boot install is complete bar touch up paint to the visible mdf areas. Battery is located underneath the drivers side lid, and the passenger side box is just for tools n stuff. The holes are for my fuel lines and fuel cell mounting. Engine side is almost done. just need to finish off fuel hardlines and frontmount piping and it should be good for a tune [Click image for larger version Name: IMG_0391.jpg Views: 362 Size: 151.8 KB ID: 40275] (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=40275&d=1304718213) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanks heaps bro. Yeh it's a 4inch dumpy and JUST clears the firewall lol. i did the boot setup myself. took ages to get perfect but came out alright. didnt cost much for mdf and carpet and assorted adhesives etc. the hardest part is deciding on how to do it. but it looks alot neater in real life
