Exhaust completed

Finally the exhaust is fitted as are all ancillaries - except for the carburettor which I was vigorously cleaning and lost some seals.

The seals are due to arrive this week so as we have a bank holiday coming up I should be able to install the carb and get her fired up.

Photos and updates later this week

Exhausts

I ordered an Exhaust through a  local company who have been fantastic at getting other stuff for the car. However the exhaust is one peice and quite long.

It started it's journey from Bristol in a van large enough to take it - which was then diverted to another depot where it was offloaded. We then ordered another one - and again  it was diverted but eventually it was found at another depot. All ready to go and get it on Saturday - I turn up to find it is still at the other depot and the first one we ordered is with it also. Fortunately I only have to pay for one.

Everthing is nearly ready so that I can start the engine - but not without an exhaust.

Lets hope it's there when I go in this Saturday.
