made up the downpipe 6 bolt flange to a V band all 3"

bracket to hold the exhaust to the gearbox and making it removable, rough paper template then worked from that 

stainless bolts welded on  use a studs for the other half 

mid pipe in place bit tight but has been painted and will be wrapped later on

other half made, all been welded up and flashed back but no pic as of yet

one of those small jobs that just take time like making a gasket for the turbo flange 

started on the brake lines, was going to run all braided but hel lines have a stupid end so i cant get them made up locally(only found this out after i ripped the other solid lines out,  issue with that air strut too that i need to sort out, the bottom red section should be pretty much sat on the weld line like the other side

waiting on P clips and thicker copper washers for the braided line there but cunifer pipe, after this was p clipped in place and tweeked so it didnt touch the bodywork on those ribs

small getting job putting in air line fittings for the air assist  clutch 

flashbanding sound proofing done on the floor bulkhead rear floor and side panels ner the door, each line on the stuff is me going over it with a roller to make sure it stuck on after cleaning the paint, took ages, also note the 4 black metal strips they are spreader plates with stainless bolts welded on for the rock sliders

carpet test fit, to be expected doesnt exactly fit 

cut outs for the seat rails, i will have to do some cutting for the tunnel  and make a few capping panels as it doesnt go under the rear board and after getting home at 11pm i  realised i need to get eyebolts for the harnesses and put them in, i also have loads of foam to pack any low spots out and to help deaden the sound more

exhaust video, bit smokey, clears up after its run and go diesel through it

just trying to push through the wall, getting slowed down by stuff like ordering around 200 quids worth of silicone hoses from a supplier for coolant hoses to be told after chasing it up items arnt in stock no due dates etc

This is my kind of build right here. Very nicely done!

I bet the purists probably don't like this, but screw them! This thing looks like a blast!

This thing is insane. Definitely not a swap I would think of doing, but it looks like it will be a blast to drive. I like the mad max look you have going too.
