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 :thumbright:

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 !!!!)

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
