Haha, things seem to be working in geological time for me lately, been busy and then had 2-weeks holidays ,so not much progress.

Tackled some rust on the bottom of the offside door and on the front lip of the bonnet and got 2-aerosols mixed to the colour of the car.
Sprayed the bottom of the door with 1 aerosol and it turned out perfect, but when I sprayed the front of the bonnet with the other aerosol, the paint did not harden, turns out the guy that mixed it must have forgot to put hardner into the paint before he filled the tin. >:(
Done this before I went on hols, and paint is still soft, so I'll have to start again on the bonnet.
Anyway here is the exhaust that I made up from a system that came off a Starlet Turbo.
And thats all the pics I have for the mo.

Nice bit of upgrading on the exhaust Kev. If you are hanging it off the original bolt just check the body there. Mine has just come off from the bodywork and is just hanging from the hooks. Think it is a weak spot, that and the fact that my upgrade was heaver than original too.

Cheers Charlie, everything is rock solid, I am still amazed at it, there is absolutely no rot anywhere, I'm really happy with it and saves a lot of time and money.

It sounds like you got the buy of the decade.
Choose your own expletives. :D
