Headlight wiring is done i am just cleaning it all up now.
The motor also went in at last after 3 years of owing the car.
Very tight area using this intake with RHD but it does work.

Im having trouble with the height or the motor now. The hood sits no where as it should. As far as i can see these AVID motor mounts sit the motor about 1 1/2" higher. But when i removed this motor out of the car i bought it from (with same mounts) it did not sit as high as it does now. Im unsure why this is if anyone has any ideas leave a comment.
I will either machine these mounts down or buy some new stock style mounts to fix this if i cant figure it out.
