Looking good there Ben, nothing wrong with using a Mazda booster, I know a couple of people using the same because they fit well.
Good luck with the front guard,
Trev

It was a good week last week, the wife gave birth to bub four, a little girl,
and we got the fb rego'd. Real happy with the car, it starts, stops, corners, nicely, and for a stock 161 keeps up well with the traffic. My weekends are going to feel a little empty, spose i will have to finish the house
.Still have to fit a radio and mount the head unit for the aircon/heater. As you can see from photo's still chaseing some rear over-riders, any leads would be much appreciated
