Lots of work done over past few days. Been a busy day and cba to go through all the minor details of how i did what.
Made up a custom grill from a sheet of ally (yes it looks restrictive, its a WIP)
Finished fabbing and mounting my exhaust stack. Mounting is made from old chassis metal and some 13mm BDMS. Sandwiched between the mounting plates is some 3mm neoprene foam to aid with vibration.
Exhaust stack is 63mm flexi stainless welded to odds and sods of random disco exhaust.
Had to modify the slam panel slightly cus the wings had moved closer together and i couldnt get the slam panel and grille surround in. Shouldnt be noticable.

Love them type of doors!! I have push buttons and would love the orig 90 doors back! Looks sweet fella same as I would want mine!
Well i'll try this one for size and keep that one as a spare 
The exhaust will stay green for about 5 miles im betting. Any longer and i'll be very surprised. It is 2k paint though so it should do pretty well with heat unless its extreme.
Jai, i'll grind that and run a pretty bead down it just for you

Good luck buddy
Nope, brake pads, window wipers and a hole in the chassis. Thats the offiical fail.
Advisories are steering box oil seal leaking.
Thats the official stuff. Unofficial stuff....
Alot of welding and tidying to do on the chassis, None of which is either mine or Si's but all the DPO's efforts that i had overlooked without the aid of a pit. Advised to get new seat belts as mine are starting to fray in places, new instrument stalks as mine are ****, sort out gearbox bias springs, rust treat the chassis as its starting to corrode in places. Jus odds and sods really. I will do alot of the suggestions he has made, as it is an ongoing project and i want it in the best condition possible.. watch this space
