Bit more exhaust spam, I added in two more v-bands as I will be getting the exhaust ceramic coated and it was too long to go in their tank. I also started fabricating up the brackets to mount the car on the rotisserie for the last time. Yep time to finish up the up the underside and engine bay and l...

For something different I thought I would start running some brake lines.

Looking good but make sure you don’t get too much heat near that airbag.

It is the angle of the photo as there is at least 60 mm of clearance between the exhaust and airbag.

Exhaust is all in place, just need to fab up some mounts and then finish welding it together.

Almost there, stretched for time but the end is near.

Success, all fits and aligns nicely with plenty of clearance. I still need to do the drivers side but I have already cut all the elbows to length using the passenger side as a guide.

Oh, I have also made an engine cover which should go well with the air intake and rockers covers.

I am thinking of getting an ally plate with a design either laser cut or CNC into it to go on top of the engine cover. Anyway plenty of things to do before that will happen.

Right, so been trying to get the exhaust finished but hit a few snags with getting the cats up high enough. This job has taken wwwwway to long but the end is in sight. Ended up trimming some material of the gearbox cross member. This allowed me to get everything up higher. Just waiting for a donut t...

Christ, am I just lucky or are all doors gaps as bad as mine along the bottom. I have the gaps pretty good along the top areas but along the bottoms at the rocker that are so far out. I know I was going to have to doing some sanding and add some metal but wow, they are pretty bad. The last picture s...

Just need to get the rubber to attach it to the throttle body plus a couple of fixings so it stays on the right spot.

So, back at it and have fabbed up the air filter housing, there was not way I was going to stick a pod filter on it.
Once finished it will hopefully look as it was fitted
In the factory.

Cheers Harv, used scrap from under the bench and the washer pump on the donor statesman.

Battery tray mounted, fuel cap and filler sorted but need to do a breather, now to mount the radiator overflow tank and fabricate up a washer bottle tank.
Also fitted new door hinge pins and bushes.

Fuel tank , another job off the list.
