we had discussions on exhausts at my local club i need to refer to the hughes guide, i think there wa a thread on here where i had typed it in verbatum, if it can be found it would help dividends. I think there is a rule about pointing at the pavement, but that said every cobra i have seen would be ileagal too.

ive cut out my rear pockets and seat base, i'll be able to do a tidy job of my inner sills and rear box section. i'm going to still use the seat belt mount so i'll put some gussets onto them.

You are asking for rust later on.... hi, i've painted the inside of the sills with galv zink rich paint, it should be ok, besides its one less seam to rot. i use it on my last car and it sat in a damp garage for 9 months and the bits i painted were fine. http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=262635 |

ive started work on the inner arch, ive had to cut the bottom of the A panel to get to the rust, i will patch the A panel up for now because i want to make the front end a flip front, so i will put new ones on then.
