Looking good, Nice to see you doing things yourself and not just buying everything. Out of intrest have you ground the welds on then inside of the manifold down or are they still rough? If you can and havnt it would be a good idea! keep up the good work! Will be well worth it soon!

i havent yet, but im going to do the ones around the flange. and then if i can get to any others i will as well :)
ok some more work, small amounts i know, but it keeps me busy before it gets dark!

and now i have a dilemma with the backbox... im happy to use this one as it was free. but i think i might do something simular to count did on the brown saloon where it bends under the boot.
opinions please

Looking good, it run yet:p
Erm, exhaust looks hellishly low?
Isnt this going down like 200mm?
lol, no not running yet!
and yeh the exhaust might be abit low, but i can raise it a tad if need be be shortening the manifold.
and no it will be down maybe 40 on a set of avo's
Good work mate, glad to see your getting on with it..
Now not to piss on your bonfire, but I'm sure in the one pic i see that you have pot of helfrauds high temp paint, did you paint the manifold with this??
If so, take it out the bay and strip it all off again, as i used it on mine and it WILL burn all off within a day of you running the car and cause lots and lots of rank smelling black smoke!
But you can paint it with B&Q BBQ/Stove hight temp paint, as i used this on my system and its not budged at all, i need to redo my manifold at some point.

i shall redo it at some point in the future :)
Liking the progress
Not keen on that backbox tho, something similar to Counts would be better IMO
