Working my way towards the driver’s side.
With the driver’s side collector in position i can fabricate the other manifold.

One problem i have encountered is the exhaust pipe closest to the bulkhead on the drivers side clashes with the footwell. For me this isnt a problem anyway, i was always planning on fitting the lower puma bulkhead of these 2 photos for clearence.

Nice. Just as a side point. It looks like you either need wider flares or different tyres/spacer removal.
In the U.K. wheels sticking out of the arches is illegal and against construction & use regulations (has nothing to do with the MoT). You could be pulled and fined for it. Plus it helps give 4x4’s and Land Rovers in general a bad rap.

Depends how many miles a year you are doing. A Tuned Tdi isn’t most likely only doing 21-24mpg. A good V8 should avaerage 17-19mpg.
A difference. But if annual mileage is low to moderate it might work out at only £20-50 a month more to run.

I don't like wide wheels, with or without the arches. They limit the capabilities of the vehicle in a number of ways, without any particular advantages, and are expensive as well.
Other than that, excellent work, should be a nice motor.

i would like to clarify my view, i only think the tyres sticking out of the arches looks ****e, the rest of the landy looks spot on. Just looks like the wheels are an afterthought imo. Wider arches would work.
Anyway, just my opinion!

Are you doing all the exhaust fabbing with the landy on the floor ? Very awkward but lovely job. Nothing worse than climbing under and out constantly taking measurements, cutting and checking for fitment .
