I am looking at making a opening quarter. Thats a job i will do when the rest is finished. The exhaust is great even if i say so myself. I designed it so that it is a replacable part. Basicly cut the rear pipe on line with the diff then fitted a 3" stubby cherry bomb then mounted the new twin pipe stainless system to that. Used smaller pipe for the end pipes to give it a tighter rasp sound. It sounds great and looks original. I will take some pics of it later.
It's not as load as you would think. I narrowed the pipes to keep up the pressure and help create a nice rasp rather than the booooorrrrrrr sound. The catis coming out but i am making a fitted section so the can can be put back with the original bolts if needed for mot's etc.
I was let down by a supplier for the headlight covers. Then had a go at doing them myself (I have produced similar items before) but the large double curves have beaten me so far.
I am looking for a reliable company to produce them, Nick has given me a name and I will be calling them on Monday. I will keep you informed.
Grill made.

Coilovers fitted.
