20 years. That would be a very special car indeed. Enjoy every minute of it!

It almost ended the same day I got it. The old man had leant me the money on the understanding that the first sign of trouble it was to be sold. No more than five minutes after picking it up I went through my first speed camera, managed to beat the folks to the mail box when the fine arrived. I only just plucked up the courage to tell him about it a couple of months ago

G'day all,
Picked up the headers from the ceramic coaters today. Fitted them this arvo so the brake booster can finally go back in and I can bleed the brakes. Fingers crossed I might be able to start it up over the weekend
Cheers Drew...

You had to show me that didn't you Drew. Now I'm going to have to order two sets just like them!

Hey mate, I highly recommend Cic ceramics in Radium St Welshpool, in fact all of Radium st, between Cic, the zinc coaters next door, welding supplies and Perth brake parts on the other side of the highway I always seem to come back with loads of goodies but also an empty wallet, haha...
Cheers Drew...  

Looks great Drew. Have you got some heat shielding for your clutch cable?

double post..

Hey mate, keen eyes to spot that... I've been pondering a solution, managed to tuck it behind one of the brake lines when they went back in, its given it about an inch more clearance, happier with that. Hopefully the ceramic coat lives up to its reputation as a thermal barrier, I may have to wrap the portion of exhaust under the drivers side yet so there will be some left over wrap for the cable...
Sorted the sticking starter motor, it was the solenoid, turned into a mission after getting it back from the original sparky, he didn't even bother to look at it just told me it was ok... Dealt with this a few times with contractors now, what pisses me off is if you're too busy or can't be bothered just tell me, now I'm a week behind because of it and he's been sent to another job at a false address, anyway, sorted now and still on track for start up before christmas...
Cheers Drew...

I got my zetec headers ceramic coated and they do keep the temp down in the engine bay. If you use a Cortina TE pinto clutch cable it'll be long Enuff to swing it out the way of heat . Pic is of the pipes..

Thanks Marty, good info, if theres any dramas I'll just change the cable to Cortina... How has the finish on your headers held out? Wasn't sure about the chrome finish but figured if they dull down they'd look like cast finish which was my second choice anyway...
Cheers Drew
