Whereabouts in the country did that Avenger come from before you got it? I'm sure a car that was an orange colour with a similar number plate used to live at the pub up the road from where I went to school.

again a matter of taste, seeing you cut up a nice shell like that made me cringe a bit..

A mate of mine has a mk1 VW Caddy with a side exit exhaust on the passenger side and his goes through the MOT fine and he hasn't had any hassle over it. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

i did think about cutting the shell, but i've taken great care about how much i was cutting, so i did'nt cut to much, also if i did'nt like it when done i can weld it all back up, i would'nt just stick a patch on, i'd make it mint again. hope it wont come to that though.

just a little update on my exhaust. after starting it up with all the pipes on it did'nt sound right. so i'm using the centre section of a stainless exhaust off a honda civic, the box is very long but thin, after welding it all i started it, sounds very nice, bit louder than before http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=262635 |

Turbophil had a butt plug made that seemed to be suitable. He may have finished with it now and have it kicking around spare |

You need to stop dicking around with exhausts and get that welder of yours on the sill.

Will be interesting to see this when it's done. Won't be to my tastes but as long as the work well executed I'm sure it will be a good show car. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
