Because I live in a vacuum mate I did not know about this car - Awesome to see you getting in to it. Hope rego is straightforward and you can keep grinning!!Originally Posted by squirrel
cut the second tailpipe off, re-welded it having welded a bit of metal pipe over the hole from the main shaft (so it's now a dummy pipe). cleaned the chrome tips and put them on. bled all four brakes, and went for a quick blat around the block

I spent quite some time a few weekends ago tinkering with the old girl and today was the first time I had to take it for a spin.
Definately overfuelling, lumpy at idle - but oh how she pulls!!

Not being able to fit up the sway bar for the lack of a couple of brackets would have driven me nuts!
Tricky little things to make, glad they fitted up OK.

Hey Pete,
For something that (I assumed) was relatively simple, the design is quite complex which surprised me. Your craftsmanship ensured that they fitted perfectly!
Many thanks for your time and efforts!
