That's the exhaust done. Managed to get it all tacked up at lunch so was a quick job nipping up after work to take it off for welding :weld:

Loving the exhaust! Hadn’t thought about that! Although I seemed to think it wasn’t allowed to exit nearside for risk of blasting pedestrians or something?

Cheers Mike! Hopefully have it out soon.
The list is pretty small now. Still got the arches to sort, fit the roof, change oil both axles (prob need changed not long after if there anything like the transfer box), fit a stereo and speakers, get tyres refitted and a mot.

Did get a test drive the other day and it was much nicer with the new suspension. Also means can attach it round the harness bar.

Need to finish the roof and get it back on. Also got the arches to do now. Gonna hold off on buying new ones the now. One of the steel mounts need repaired. So will probably take them all right back and treat them after some welding.

Hey guys progress has slowed abit lately so not been staying on top of updates. It's so close to being ready to take out but I've currently got my mates saxo on the ramp for its back axle and he's waiting on some parts before we can get it back together. Really don't fancy lying on the ground this time of year. I have managed to finish redoing the hardtop and refitted to original arches. There still not big enough but saving money where can the now so new ones will need to wait.
