hell, I wish :lol:

not had any practice of late, its been too busy, but it should breath a little better, than before, seems to go a bit better too. The balanced box I brought a few years ago for building the exhaust system, I noticed today has a smaller bore to the rest of the current system, hoping it wont make too much of a restriction if I fit.

Bigger pipes the better. Let it breath.

Let Nick drive it around the block again.

Im thinking the same Jono, I'll have to look for a bigger bore 2 in/out ballance box now. Just wondering if there is anything off the shelf to fit another vehicle

Or get a pair of 2 x 2" - 1 x 3" Y pieces, and weld them together, or put a 3" in 3" out box between?

Or you could make your own - just get some perforated pipe, welded between 2 2" pipes, and weld them into a box... you could put some of the wooly silencer material in as well if you wanted

I was thinking the same, but I might just check with the 2 local pipe specialists, I know one of them will be way off the mark, but I will ask, just so it makes me feel good about the other one :roll:

Couldn't find anything else other than the 24v box that Ive already got on ebay and some the exhaust websites Ive a had a quick look through, don't have a piccy to make a comparison

Windscreen surround is all done, treated it to some rust inhibitor, clean a ton of waxoil off the scuttle, I presume Ford spray it down the vents. Just got to get Nick spray around it to seal everything in and screen can be fitted

A bit rust under the offside scuttle, can't find the pictures of the bit before welding

Nick just had to take the micky of me painting some rust inhibitor
