Hi Drew, my pipes came from Ashley performance exhaust in uk and i got them coated next to pacemaker exhaust at Richmond , South of Adelaide , apart from a minimal bit of rust at the lower collector they've held out really well for 7yrs. The color did dull off just slightly at the top from the heat but they still shine when polished ,
Cheers

Had the rest of the exhaust finished off today, splurged out and went stainless, what the hell I've come this far with the car... Had it properly muffled this time too, when I look back at its last 'boy racer' guise I'm embarrassed to say just how loud it used to be... Just a few things left to do now, at least I can tune it properly without pissing off the neighbours and sending myself deaf haha...
Stuck in a pic of it with the Cortina too, first time they've been in the same place together for ages.
Cheers Drew...

Looks great Drew.  Did you already have an exhaust system in place, or did you drive there with open pipes?  I'm in need of a new system myself, so will be keen to hear how this one sounds.

That undercarriage looks mint 😆
When pipes are done proper it really shows. . We'll done mate 👍.
If i can answer Flighters question , you can drive ur car direct to the zorst place just call them before leaving home so if a rozzer does haul you up , 9 times out of 10 they let you go and/or follow you to the muffler shop .
I had one follow me as my car was extra loud from the headers with a side exit one early satdy morn , once i indicated into the muffler shop they gave a thumbs up and went their own way.

That's a thought Marty.  Twenty years ago I could have gone somewhere only a few kms from home, but what was an industrial area then has quickly turned into a retail and business zone.  Drew's a lot further from me, but it looks like whoever he used did a nice job, so I might be tempted to make a run for it.

Cheers for noticing Marty, I spent alot of time laying under there wondering what I was doing with my weekends Happy with the job they did.
Hey Rob, they're in Joondalup, didn't run the gauntlet, the booster needs to go in and be bled yet. Theres a tow'y around the corner that looks after me, he's an Elvis impersonator by night and the mrs always gets a smile from him "good morning there little lady" haha, he's smooth.
Cheers Drew...

Hi Drew,
Seem to have missed some of your recent posts for some reason, probably from my shift work. Love your pipes and exhaust and the overall finish on the car is coming up a treat- top work!
Cheers,
Len

Spent what could be the last of my Saturdays playing with the car today, lol, I'm getting a bit nostalgic, we've come a long way... anyway, the old boy came around to help bleed the brakes, stoked no leaks but it did take a while to get all the air out of the virgin system. Finished by putting the beaut sticker on the brake booster, thanks again Spanner... Adjusted the clutch cable to the specs in the gregory's manual and played with the final height of the coil overs. The car goes to the dyno and for a wheel alignment in about a week and short on any glitches I should be driving it for Feb 11th, 20 years to the day that I bought it, fingers crossed...
Cheers Drew...

Wow. Epic much? So close!
