Glad it sounds as you might expect.... I don't have much experience to go on.
cheers

you'll be okay. its okay to play around to get the feel of it, otherwise you never will. good luck! :) I definitely had a few whoaaaally shit moments playing around in the SC, but once you get a feel for the jive of the car you know a bit more about what to expect.
((((Arg - Still waiting for my ECU... but i guess it gonna be soon.. i am so dang hopeful...))))
when the car is running.. . projects include, final adjust of clutch cable after the clutch assembly weld, toe-in align after install of turbo tie rods, check injectors, sniff for gas in the engine bay and check both warm and cold fuel idle, check all lights/fuses/grounds that I didn't bump anything off.
Taking Fuchs j15x7 and j15x8 to Harvey tomorrow.. Gotta get them out of A. Bauer Repair this morning sometime... to be massaged and swapped. Harvey.. i hope you can feel a little better.

Removed original standard front bumper (tangerine) and fitted factory steel S chin spoiler (sepia brown). Now it's time to learn how to spray paint.

I work my dashboard, wanted to turn the alloy into something else, took the vinyl, glue, bush, sewing machine and Porsche embossed leather piece.

That looks great!
Drove my car with Solexes installed for the first time!
Some words of wisdom to those aspiring to do the same: don't expect it to be easy - these carbs are a world apart from Webers. Solexes are a complicated system and getting them sorted, even after being rebuilt is not for the squeamish. This install took three years and more $$$ than I'd possibly imagined to make happen! Here they are:
