Nothing like that looks easy to me and I'm sure it was a mission.... I'm in desperate need of an exhaust repair, well just a flexi joint welding onto an old skool supersprint system that's on the mk1. 

Sadly you're about an hour away.

Fair play if its only that surely you could take it off and take it to a welder and it shouldnt cost alot at all but as long as you can take it to them and they dont have to clamber under the car!

Finished welding and fitting the exhaust today apart from the tailpipe will order that next wk.

Bad news it has a hole in it, the blow is on the exhaust elbow im pretty sure but also I couldnt do up 2 bolts on the manifold so it could be from there. Sounds good from the backbox tho. Have taken it apart to find the hole and will grind out some of the manifold to fit the nuts, may have to modifly the nuts so I can do them up properly.

Never just works out does it, ah well least it started!  :smiley:

Slacking!

Ive been working loads so havent had as much time on it as I would like but have been slacking as well. Its been a struggle getting motivation as I just seem to solve one problem and then another 2 pop up!

But I have got a new better quailty filter and setup for the intake which I will take some pictures once its finished and mounted. Will be getting a mocal oil cooler and thermostat next wk so need to mount that.

Once thats all done then im good to go, fingers crossed ill get time over the wkend.

lovely job mate. I will be keeping an eye on my oil temps to see if one will be needed in the future

My exhaust may be ok now, my mate has just found one of the joints to be a bit loose...
