Not The Best Pictures
Discussion
Alan when you started this I thought it was all a pipe dream another 'I'm going to put a 'kin great engine in an S' thread that would never happen.
I have to say I have massive respect for what you have achieved so far and its a shame I don't live nearer I'd have loved to see it progress in the metal.

Hi All.
Thanks for that Chris. Well a cold day down at the workshop, longer job than expected and a bit still to finish off through the week. I had my son to help me, so with a bit of trying this and that we got all the X pipe through to the front done, ran out of 63mm tight elbows for connecting the back boxes up, I ran the pipes a bit wider so I could have as much clearance as I could get, in the end we got 110mm under the cherry bombs (might have a bump in the floor as it has about 5mm from the floor).
I have it so I can take anything off the car without removing any of the exhaust, next job is to tig up all the sections and brackets to the pipes.
Again not the best pictures

Hi All
Just got the full exhaust done, front to back, couple of pieces to weld together but all there, need to make some offset bends to come up past the steering to connect the turbo's to the system but ran out of bits (another ebay trip).

Hi All
One fuel tank made and fitted. I had this made about a year ago 65 ltrs, its the shape of the boot floor and has a VDO sender unit with low fuel warning. It allows for the exhaust back boxes to fit (small humps) either side of the tank, I have a cover which allows me to get to the diff bolts if I need to take the diff out.

Hi All
Just an update, yesterday and today I managed to get the whole exhaust welded up and fitted, just got to make a pr of elbows from the turbo's to the system. I have got 4 1/2" clearance by running the cans to the outside side of the chassis rails, just under the part where my foot will rest so it might just keep my feet warm in winter, I have about 1/2" from the can to the floor,
Next week I can take the body back off and start the strip down for powder coating, has the anybody used anything el's to paint the chassis with and how is it doing.
No pictures today as I left the camera at home, so will do some through the week
Just taken these
