Collected my new manifold today, its going to mean som further mods to the slam panel and the radiator but its well worth it. Its made by Jay at Nortech and is amazing quality. I cannot recommend his work enough.

Excellent work mate - looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!
Thanks everyone. Hopefully i will not get called into work tomorrow so if not i aim to have it back on its wheels and rolling around.
Excellent stuff Rick. Still can't believe you've allowed that brand new garage to get so cluttered, lol.
One thing though; From getting in the car to turning it over took 32 seconds, I hope you're never in a situation when you have to make a quick getaway, lol ;)
