Thanks guys!
Just back from the hospital, somehow with all the difficult grinding and welding in tight spots a metal particle got stuck in my eye. Not the first time, though I managed to stay clean for a few years.

Thanks all, the eye is better now still a bit red and sensitive so no welding this week. You learn to value your health when you are temporary disabled. I'm lucky that while I've had many accidents there is nothing permanent.
I do use goggles most of the time but sometimes you just can't see what you're doing.

I want to keep the possibility to remove the targa roof but I'm thinking of making it bolt on/off, with the bolts connecting steel to steel, window frame/rear top to IxI roof frame.

Air filters. They look very well made at least as good as K&N and they were cheap at 19 euro/piece. The filtering area is 600 cm2 and that is 10% more than the standard filter, and I have 2...excellent for doubling the horsepower!
They are too large to fit behind the air intakes I made behind the side windows, so they will go as originally planned in the side pockets behind the rear wheels, a good use for space otherwise wasted.
Then I can use the new intake for the original oil cooler in it's original spot, that will save some time fabricating and getting oil lines for the new cooler I bought. Nothing is decided yet, the plumbing (and there is a lot) can only be done when the engine is back in.
