Ordered my bolts from ebay, cheers for the link SeriesLandy! The build is coming on nicely now, front uprights have been dismantled from the shock units and the diff' bracketry is all welded up. I'm now on a big hunt for a pre Aug '95 mondeo for the engine and ECU so I don't have to run a cat. I've got 4 weeks to find one - just as I was getting going on the build again I've now got to go back to uni!

Some more questions... I'm going to use 2mm ali sheet for my floor - how would you suggest I mount my seats? Would it be enough to bolt them straight to the ali plate or would I be better off welding some steel support tubes in between the lower rails and transmision tunnel rails? I'll be using seat runners nicked off my 5door metro as it'll almost cirtainly fail its next MOT in a few months beyond economic repair

I'm struggeling to find a source of seamless tube for my roll bar, id really rather not make it from seammed tube if I can help it. Anyone got any suggestions for the south London/Kent area?

I've been thinking about the exhaust and purely from an astetics point of view id quite like to have 4 seperate tubes come out down the length of the bonnet, slope down to the base of the chassis parralel where they'd meet a single horizontal tube running along the car back to the scilencer. kind of like this:

Then add the horizontal tube in along the bottom...

Will this work from a performance point of view or would I be better off sticking to a more conventional 4-1 or 4-2-1 system?

Cheers
Josh
