Stick a wanted post up in classifieds here.

For the front n middle silencers the likes of ernst exhausts are good value, but hold out for genuine backbox they come with stainlrss steel tips so finish the back of the car off nicely

eurocarpart or gsfcarparts might be able to get you ernst exhausts

Where is the exhaust after market from? I have an original manifold and down pipe taking up room in my garage. Might put a clear out on the wanted section or ebay.

Went over on Saturday viewed the car agreed a realistic price, ferry to Liverpool then 350 miles back to Cornwall. Great hospitality from the seller would have loved to have spent more time in Belfast. Car has had paint but no rust, very solid. A few usual Mk2 issues issues , heater barely works,  rear bumper sagging with broken bracket, temp gauge reading low.

Cool & welcome to the MK2 club... Got any better pictures??
