I agree, I think header tank. Commondores do the same. Someone will post a photo I imagine to clear the confusion.

Started converting the dash to a bolt-in, using an extra overlap section welded on top, with about a dozen M8 rivnuts securing it in place.
Should make wiring up and accessing everything much easier later on. Hoping to be able to remove the whole dash intact with gauges, a/c, stereo wiring etc in place.
This dash had over 30 screw holes, parking brake holes etc etc across the bottom that I'm also welding up while it's out.

No, first crack at a Megasquirt.
Hybrid was kind enough to modify my MS2 for me, so very lucky to have a solid starting point in my learning.

That seems like an age ago. Pretty sure warranty has well and truly run out

Picked up a couple of full sets of coupe seats last week, so started cleaning them and retrimming them to sell.
Forgot how much I hate doing the hogrings, but getting the hang of it again.
Six front buckets and 2 sets of rears to do.
