It's been a little while, but I haven't been idle! I've been working on my exhaust (which is taking far longer than I expected), planning my intake (read: collecting parts and poking them) and punishing my liver.
I've now got the left side tacked together, gonna sort out the silencer mounts and link pipe next and then replicate it on the right hand side. That's the theory at least!
The welding isn't the tidiest, I've since learnt to use the foot pedal to good effect. Also at this point my liver was staging a spirited counter attack, however I am pleased to announce that a truce has been called for now.
