Cheers John, its only tac welded as will need to be adjusted. Its tig also so stays neat.

Yeah for now just going to bang it out the center of the bumper. I have given up with being overly picky on things that can be changed later on !

Im just doing bit by bit now as need to save for the fuel system plus the auto electrician is coming next weekend and need to pay him also!

Quick one, if you plan on doing track days i would get a center silencer for that exhaust system, itll be loud enough with induction noise!

looks like its getting there tho, top stuff

Hey Mark!

Yep i have a center silencer for it. The plan is to mock the exhaust like the bloke has done and as seen in the pics. Remove it, cut in the silencer and make the sleeves and then re fit it.
