Exhaust is all in place, just need to fab up some mounts and then finish welding it together.

Looks like a German virgin I used to know, Schneizentite.
Looking good but make sure you don’t get too much heat near that airbag.

A LOT of work gone into that

It is the angle of the photo as there is at least 60 mm of clearance between the exhaust and airbag.

Tidy work there feller.


FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie

For something different I thought I would start running some brake lines.

Bit more exhaust spam, I added in two more v-bands as I will be getting the exhaust ceramic coated and it was too long to go in their tank.

I also started fabricating up the brackets to mount the car on the rotisserie for the last time. Yep time to finish up the up the underside and engine bay and lay some paint down.

I have included a picture of the tacking clamp I made for tacking exhaust together. It allows you to tack the joint with the clamp holding it in place. They are tube mounting clamps made from stainless. You can buy them online, I will also use them for mounting the exhaust.

Nice work on the exhaust, you can come over here and sort mine out if ya want

I reckon we could book Taz in for quite a few Blacky

I wonder how many cases of Boags I would need to supply if he started work at one end of my driveway and worked his way down?

I would say zero - He is from the south and I would assume has never had a can of Boags in his life
Cascade however may be a different story ........

LOL, I will drink either brand of beer these days but not enough time for my own jobs.

Finally got the EK on the hoist, time to strip it ready for final tidy up underneath and then painting. Fuel lines completed and brake lines mocked up.

There is a lot going on there Taz. Great work.
