I could quite happily go out into the garage now. I so desperately want it drivable and to hear what it sounds like now i got the exhaust to fit the manifold again!

So after a day of rectifying my dumbass mistake it now drives again.

I collected my gearbox bolt from suzuki and the gear lever is nice and tight now.

I'm opting for a "new" front end too as mine is quite badly mangled in places.

Is that not just a waste of time and paint?

Not after some wanker rubbed thiners over the front wings and attempted to puncture the rear tyres
