finished up more of the plated parts on the suspension

Yours are already refinished so you wouldn't need them, but we do offer those Stabilizer Guide Plates (for the front stabilizer lever bolts, p/n 901 343 763 00-PRM) in stainless steel, which are then gold cad plated for proper appearance. It's a nice upgrade for anyone with rusted or corroded factory plates.

I'm curious why you didn't relocate the fuel pump to the front while you had the option to avoid any future potential vapor locking from engine compartment heat soak?.

2.5 Liter, I know it has "S" heads but I am not sure what cams where used in the build.

It may be a decision that I regret, but I traded out the Solex cams for E cams. I was shooting for drivability over HP.

Truth be told, they make great power when the Solex and S cams are trying to decide what to do. I like them.

If you didn't know what the original looked like you would be perfectly happy.
the fit is pretty good but the 2 side interior pieces don't fit now
