quick update, fitted a new 2 inch exhaust system and got rid of my big milo tin exhaust tip, and got my new starter motor, alternator reconditioned,and new battery also had a problem with the gearshifter coming entirely out of the box, damn nylon threads, think its time for one of those quaife short shifters, all metal

ah the never ending fun of old cars, still you gotta love them :)
