Getting fed up with the guy who's meant to be doing my engine swap. So far he's screwed with the rear end, broken my exhaust and almost threw it out, left heaps of dents and scratches on the body, and removed some of my seals then put them back in really loose. Oh well. I'll give him one more chance then I'll try my luck doing it at home (unless anyone can reccommend someone in Melbourne?), he seems to be creating more problems than he's fixing. [B)][xx(]

hope he gets his act together.

Well the exhaust is f*&ked! Thought it was only going to be a slight bend and I could bend it back into shape, but it's literally bent 90 degrees.




How the f*&k did he manage to do that!? [:x)][:o)]


Anyway, once the engine goes in the car will be back off to my work for some bodywork.

So far the to-do list is:
Shave door locks
Shave boot badge
Fix the areas where the sun has started peeling the paint
Fix the dent on the passenger r/q
Few little chips, etc

Should be fun. Really enjoyed taking it and working on it on Wednesday. I get to make it how I want it, which makes me feel more like it's my car. Which probably sounds stupid, haha.

err that exhaust looks fair rooted lol your looks real nice
in the green!

but you already knew that aye....[88]

oh and numbr plates are PH-at[:x)]

Looks like it has been wrapped around another pice of pipe... what was he thinking (or doing)!

Personally i would have gone with some nice mandrel bends, I tend to find bending it that way restricts the flow too much lol[88]

Haha, I guess I could go for a side exhaust? [:x)]

Scortfreak.....firstly, would just like to say. Nice Mk1. Secondly what exactly is your mechanic doing to it? A motor swap with your yellow one was the bit I got but what else. Why the radiator support and the bent exhaust? Why the wheelnuts and spacers.??
