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

Looks like a German virgin I used to know, Schneizentite.
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.

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 lay some paint down.

I have included a picture of the tacking clamp I made for tacking exhaust together. It allows you to tack the joint with the clamp holding it in place. They are tube mounting clamps made from stainless. You can buy them online, I will also use them for mounting the exhaust.
