    Tom, do you mean the cover that's over the MFI belt that at the rear of the engine? If so, I have yet to install that.

    Sound Pad Paint

    My car 's not handy, at the moment --- down for its engine . . . but it still has its OG sound pad. And the edge has definitely been painted --- by hand, too, looks like . . . even goes over onto the sheet metal at the upper edges of the compartment . . . just like the dash + door edges

    I'll come back to this topic with pics, when the car comes back

Size:  79.6 KBI think installing the Deco trim front and rear end pieces was one off the least enjoyable parts of this build...especially trying to get the plastic edging in place on the rear bumper end trim. But its done.

    Its nice to see when you connect the battery that things actually work - in this case the rear Lights - and there isn't any smoke ��

    The spring plate / torsion tube covers should be painted black ! The car is certainly deserving of this correct detail .
