Cheers stot I made it myself I bought all the parts loose from exhaust supply uk the cat from turborev and about 15 hours of hard graft to make it by welding the peaces then grinding down the welds and polishing I'm hoping that after I have thrashed it around a bit that it will blue up a bit I'll have to get a finished photo up

well iv not updated for a while but I hate electrics but iv fixed my fuel tank down and last night I was trying to make a banal to fit over my diff but my battery went flat on my drill to find out I had a problem with my charger then I went on to blowing it up. Woop's any way I'm on stop with that and iv bought a new charger.

Been a while with no up dates but i'v finished my fuel system and started playing with the wiring loom. Iv mounted my battery with an isolation switch and I'v had trouble trying to get my engine to turn over but with a bit of digging it turns out that I didn't have a starter interlock switch. So I Looped that and see fired up straight away what a result well happy my cooling hoses a bits should be arriving tomorrow so that is my next job

well I must say iv had a good weekend. the engine is starting on the key and running really nice The cooling water is all done might change a few things but its ok for now, and iv got to run it hot to see if my fan kicks in. Also as you may know I'm not to keen on electrics but iv got my front indicators working and my head light so not to far away from tidying up the wiring in the engine bay
