Gave a pipe a bit of a clean up. Came very nice and should look grouse once ceramic coated.
I also finally got the airconditioner condenser required to fit behind the grill and under the bonnet catch bar.
I was stuck for height but sourced this one which is only 160mm high but 60mm thick. It will fit perfect.

Pipes are all done. I will need to cut some more steel out on the drivers side to clear the two rear pips.

Nice Taz you have a lot more patience than I do and they certainly will look good when they are ceramic coated mate.
