On the workbench today…

…dragged the old exhaust back out of the shed for some final pre-painting fettling.

Hope to get this finished and fitted to #407 before the MoT in June.

Oh… and a pair of Trophy rear springs marinading in a nice bucket of Bilthamber Deox-C…

These will be for sale soon.

I did a bit of engine cleaning yesterday afternoon Ed -

Looking great Nick. You really need some lime green coolant though…

That’s a job for this year when it has its service -

Nice. I knew you’d have it in hand.

Back on with this...

Polished up the tips this afternoon, between the showers!

I'm behind schedule with everything due to a recent family bereavement. However, the Trophy is booked for it's MOT the week after this so thought I'd better get on with finishing this off. Just need to spray and lacquer the boxes now and it's done...

Stunning Ed - Love it

I think that's about as OEM+ as I can manage with the rattle cans...

Wow Ed - do you want to do mine too ???

While Jonny Smith has his infamous can of hope, you have your just as powerful,
rattle can(s) of restorative hope Ed

I think you might have a good sideline business going there.

Haha! Cheers Francis.

Hopefully my fettling activities will give it a few more years service. (I’m always on the hunt for more of these original exhausts, but they’re getting rarer & rarer!).
