With the wonderful help of TrevD (thank you indeed Trev) I got some side finishers made to go between the wheel arches and the sides like this :-
Nearside
Nearside finisher
nearside finisher from front
nearside finisher better angle
and offside
Offside finisher
This has allowed me to fit the rear arches and wire in the light fittings
Rear arches fitted
Also for the past week I have been progressing with the exhaust manifold from this :-
Exhaust started
to this point
exhaust from back
exhaust from front
exhaust from side
and yes from a purist point the are not all EXACTLY the same length, however they have all ended up with about an inch or just over being the difference in length and whilst perfect balance in length is desirable, it is not totally necessary and the difference in the bend angles will have an effect albeit slight. so it should not be too bad when finished. It took me ages to get the joint faces tight and get all the pipes pointing in the right direction. I now have to get the pipes seam welded and then I can fit the collector and pipe to exhaust box (and then polish).
So there you have it work goes on. I am now getting down to a finishing list.
