driver side header on and clears everything ,just have to tweek the engine over a little bit ,even the standard starter will go again and is a lot more accesable than with the stock exhaust ,,im impressed so far ,the hardest bit was getting the slip joints apart

is there such a thing as A body sickness ,coz im getting that way ,since Christmas eve when the dart landed ,every bit of my spare time has been taken up ,and its getting me down now ,,but anyway headers are in and done ,air filter even clears the bonnet ,now to get the zorst sorted ,im going to farm this job out as I cant be bothered to roll about under it much more,still a never ending list of stuff to do ,but I need to make it move now to give me a kick up the arse

Tel. Your doing a great job mate. Don't get disheartened now.
Go and have a few beers with a mate. Chill out then get back at it.
Believe it or not there are some of us out here who would love to be tinkering with a car on a warm evening ( or a cold one !!!!)

dropped the prop into dave mac in Coventry today ,great service ,shortened new joints balanced and painted £150 and it will be done Wednesday,these guys are spot on too

no pics ,but have not given up ,line lock and bias valve all fitted new lines front to back and no leakes and a strong pedal,thought I may have had to shorten the brake pushrod ,but it had not seated properly ,once there was a bit of resistance it went all the way in ,had to get a fan spacer machined down for more clearance to the rad ,just putting the stock fan on for now ,prop all sorted and fitted,got to take a little bit out of the gearbox crossmember today for the passenger side exhaust to run through ,as these cars only had provisions for a single system ,o and rear anti roll bar fitted aswell,next weekend will be fire up time ,still got loads to do ,all time consuming little jobs ,but its getting very close now
