I did some engine bay cleanup... mostly I got rid of the rats nests of wire the previous owner left me. I did clean the intake up a touch and polish the valve cover.

Just a question, could you possibly take a photo under the dash?

 

curios to find out how the clutch mechanism works (clutch cable being on the right hand side and the pedalbox on the left)

 

CHEERS
