Right, very quickly, as there isn't much to tell.
Went to Detling Kitcar Show and quite enjoyed that. Managed to get twenty stainless steel bends from 38mm tubing for only £40. When you consider most places seem to charge anything up to £20 per bend, you can see why I was quite excited:D
Anyway, the point of buying the bends was to build new exhaust manifolds, but having since spent a couple of evenings knocking up new manifolds and not being too impressed with the rushed results, I've since decided to use the Range Rover manifolds and make some link tubes, which should work better, look worse and save a lot of time.
Now, I still have a lot of work to do on the car, but this weekend coming I've "told" the wife I'm spending all weekend (including the Bank Holiday Monday) sorting the car out. And she's agreed:D
If you recall the work needed was this
Need to make a bracket for the air flow meter - which will face rearward
Modify exhausts as no turbo's to connect pipes anymore
Wiring will need sorting
Sort the bonnet out
Fit the radiator and plumb in
Paint the rest of the bodywork
Modify the alternator bracket
Get roll bar sorted!
The car also needs an MOT and tax, but if I can get that lot done next weekend, we may have T&T the week after:D
Bigger, hopefully more positive post a week on Monday!
