Thanks lads,i'm going out to underseal the part of the chassis leg where the exhaust bracket is as it was cut off & welded back on to get the backbox hanging right...i'll try & get a pic as per liam's request.

does the exhaust pop and bang mate and how loud is it ? I really like the roll back lip on it as well :)
Looks great Craig, maybe I'll have a license by the time this is on the road and see it in the flesh.

Novadave24-it's not too loud but i may eventually get the rest of the ashley system so it is slightly noisier ;)
David kedens-it is on the road mate,i just dont get out in it enough.

Cheers mate,i bought it off ebay..item number 170756417595 the guy only does it with a gsi logo at the moment but i messaged him before i bought it & he said he could supply a plain vinyl,it's pricey but good quality.Quote:

Just want to say to all who hv followed the full resto of Craig's GTE, I owned this car in 97 and what a fantastic job he's done on rebuilding it, it was my pride and joy back then and to stumble on this car again 3 days ago and see it probably better than it's ever looked... Full respect to Craig.. Brought a huge smile to my face... And many others I suspect
Thanks for all your compliments,i'm glad you contacted me :)Quote:
