A man in a van brought me my exhaust jigsaw puzzle today.
Skinned knuckles tomorrow:(,or should I say more:eek:,and plenty of change for the swear jar at the ready:).
And why don’t they put nuts on the bolts:mad: for the flanges.( found some good to go).
Might need to do some mods, let’s see:)

Just thought I would do some last minute checks before tomorrows trip and the bonnet catch broke :)
Fortunately I have a spare so I have spent the last hour fitting that :D
 
Dash trim fitted.another genuine part cheaper than blue bag.

Just need to decide if I just Ali sheet the vent area as putting the grey vent cover on looks crap.

Put the tray that covers the cable loom in the top of the dash & swept it out.
Productive afternoon..
 
Ok I spent a few hours in the cold garage and ripped out the old rusty bits.(thats total time,rusty bits dont stand a chance with a grinder)

Now was on to fit the new bits.
Tail piece fits great :)(may have to cut mud flap but will see)
Now to join the 2 bits together.
Well that ain’t going to work is it :mad:

Anyway have left the garage with no more change in my pocket for the swear jar:eek:.
But I am hopefully on the last legs, and will get it beat tomorrow. Don’t really want to cut into new bits too much as makes future replacements easier. So everything is mocked up and ready for tomorrow’s assault:)
Have to say it was actually warmer standing in the pit than the garage by a noticeable amount. Probably won’t be tomorrow as it is open overnight.

Must remeber to pick up a bunch of change before I go to garage tomorrow :oops:
