Is it that loud that ear defenders are needed

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
The cat is underneath and that (kinda) silences it. Saying that it is rather loud...
Sprayed the bomb in high heat paint and started tidying the pick up bed. Made a little bit of trim where the exhaust exits the tailgate. Need to find some waterproof exhaust wrap for that back pipe.

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
MOT on friday! Cleaned up the rusty coils and put the heat wrap on the downtube. Hopefully she's all good to go...

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
I still love checking in on this. Always plenty of updates and always something interesting that's been well thought out on a sensible budget.

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
Thanks Dan. The budget is nigh on zero at the moment. Thankfully my friend (and ace mechanic) works (for me anyway) on a favour policy. In return for his welding skills I'll be helping him put up a summer house in the garden and he wants a mural painted in his house...all works out evenly balanced in the end. Fingers xxd for friday...

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
This is the result of wednesday's carpark incident...I've glued the grill back together but I need a new one. The wing was bent back roughly into place and filled. No time to paint it today though.
