Ah I remember now. I trimmed a little off the block to clear the exhaust.

I think the best option is a new down pipe. I'll get some prices and see how i feel / what i can afford.

At least i'm not the only with exhaust issues. I've actually got loads of bits of scrap exhaust in the back yard, may just modify it the good ol' home brew way.

Having sleep issues tonight. Due to the engine mount issue i don't think i'll get as much done this week as i'd hoped.

Once i've got the engine bay tidied up i'm going to do my hardest to at least paint the front wings. All the nuts and bolts holding them together at seized solid. I've got some spares but i'm gonna get hex heads to go back in.

Then its leaky master cylinder and front caliper rebuild.

Well, i've had 4 years out of them but it may be time to look for / make some new inner wings and the part where the head lamp goes.

The actual panel itself seems ok but the inner has seen better days. Nothing a quick rub down, paint / underseal won't hide till i can sort something better out.
