Yeah, those welds were really poor on that exhaust, but it's all good now.
The driveshaft looks good TBH, I opted for the most expensive one they did, so hopefully it should be good for a while.
A bit more progress………..
I got to fit the uprated ARB’s the other day.
Front old and new.
Rear old and new.
It’s made a pretty significant difference to the car, it handles pretty well now, certainly good enough for a road car.
Then onto the steering wheel, initially I bought a 330mm wheel, but when I fitted it there was an issue.
As you can see I can’t see the clocks when driving, coupled with the fact that it makes my hands feel massive, off it came.
So, I then obtained a 365mm wheel, slightly smaller than stock (380mm), this took more time to get it right than I’d like to admit, but now I have a race wheel with cruise buttons.
I’ve fitted the front and rear number plates which has made the car look significantly cleaner as I fitted them without screws, this required a perspex plinth to be fabricated for the rear, which now looks like it floats in its spot.
Previously I forgot to show pics of the new n/s knuckle I fitted, including a new bearing, I did a quick write up here of the replacement.

And the finished knuckle.
Just need to get an o/s knuckle and then rinse and repeat.
I’ve also obtained a replacement front bumper bar as my bumper has never sat quite right on the o/s (the crash of 2009!), so it’s now clean and ready for fitting.
Some random shots from a drive in the nice weather yesterday.
