Those are the same people who often ask me if my RHD is legal. I assure them that it isn't but I plan to take back roads on the way home to avoid law enforcement.

Back in the shop for some fine tuning - A) new heater core and B) new 80 Series brake booster.

I believe so - all you should need to make their kit work:
