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 work Taz,
They take a lot of time to build but well worth it in the end. Ceramic coating will keep the temperature down a lot as well.

So many cars so little time!

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

Wipe motor finally mounted. Engine, gearbox and front suspension are out. Time to finally finish off the engine bay and fire wall.
