You're s star thank you! I'll hopefully be able to start it this week now.

Thanks again!

Exhaust.



I had welded the 90/rolled tip together by here and tacked together the cat. I'll crack on with the pipe between the cat and manifold this weekend. I need to rig up an argon back purge then I'll weld the rest. Tig welding stainless wasn't as straightforward as I presumed...





And some white vinyl wrap!

Lookin good fair play.
Where did you get the exhaust parts they look nice

[norton]

Thank you, they're from several different vendors across eBay and the net. Wherever was cheapest! Profusion exhausts had the bends and cat which was much cheaper than most. I wanted to future proof the exhaust as I will turbo charge the engine after iva so went with an admittedly excessive 3" diameter setup but it certainly looks good!

Looking good mate how was the vinyl to put on ?

It wasn't too bad once I'd gotten the hang of it. Definitely a two person job. One to hold it tight once started and the other to squeegee it on. It looks good though.

[garyout]

yea I agree top job I get the arse hanging wall paper

Oooo looking good, like that exhaust with those sexy tires.

I did similar with my exhaust system but felt I would have an issue with the edges of the silencer facing front and rear at IVA. To get round it I got an old saucepan lid (don't tell the management) and cut a hole for the exhaust pipe, fitted a treat and looked good as well

That's my kind of solution! Ace!
