Exhaust

Started on the Exhaust at last decided we're going to make a mild steel one for now and maybe look into a stainless one later after IVA. Figured out we need two 90 degree bends and a short length of straight we also need a CAT too. We have to make it split to get it through the bodywork and up to the manifold. We used the support that came with the exhaust and drilled through the chassis then bolted it on so its really strong.

Drivers Side Panel On & Other Bits

Finally tackled the drivers side panel we've been putting it off because we thought it was going to be a pain in the arse to do as the fit of the panel was bad and needed a bit of work to make it fit. Any way in the end we cut a piece of the bottom lip off to allow the panel to sit on the chassis better and then siliconed the hell out of it to stick it on. We used some bolts too for extra support but the silicon stuff is bloody brilliant really so it's nice and solid.


We weren't  too happy with the old wiring as it looked a bit messy and needed sorting so dads been busy re wiring and made a great job of the new fuse box, ECU etc. It will all hide away nicely under the scuttle.


Battery in hidden away nicely and as low down as pos for better centre of gravity (don't think we would notice any difference if it was higher really but makes us sound like we know what we're doing lol)
