the extractors have been heat proofed before the wrapping went on, its mainly t try and keep the heat donw in the engine bay and thats it, there is plent of room for the moisture to leave. It all comes down to how tight you wrap them

i was talking tp the guy next door at the exhaust shop and he said that the heat wrap makes hodls the heat on the pipe without letting the pipe cool down ,and it then cracks and burns out ,aswell as rusting out cos if storing moisture too

ceramic coating seems to be the go but it cost my uncle %350 to get a set of pipes done on a his motor bike

Looking good Bretski :)

well i finally got it of the stands and bricks hahaha so she is now rolling once again...put the new shockies in the back and finished the rear leaf springs, got the tail shaft on, finished the front bearing assembly and sway bar. hopefully will get some more time tomorrow to get the wiring done and all the plumb work done and clean teh petrol tank out and refit again

The Smurfmobile is almost done ;)

damn i wanted to be the one that got it off the blocks !!!

nice work, are you going to put sound deadener under the car everywhere ?

cos it might be easyer to do it now then later cos we could pretty much sit the car on its side (on the blow up matress hehe) and do it then ,would only take a day or so to get ths floor clean as new and then just coate it with under body stuff

hook the hand brake up ,kat might get ideas when your at work and put it out the front for kurb side pick up hahahaah

well i finally got my decals and installed them...cant wait for the blue glow to happen when the car is all back together

Yeah engine bay looks sweet as mate had to go back a few pages and read up missed a fair bit of your progress. Nice dash should be a sweet little ride when done.

thanks...still got heaps to do, just hope i get some time this long weekend to get a whole lot more done now i have my own welder instead of stealing my work one

well i got some work done this past few days, i got to use my little welder and seems to work quite well. I have removed the gutter from the driverside and half way through removing the other side. I have done much needed grinding which has taken me most of the day as i hate it sooo much but the car is starting to look good. Also done a fair bit of panel beating on the rear of the car (old damage never fixed) and most of the passenger side. All i have to do is get more wire for my welder and finish of the passenger side and do the grinding on the drivers side. Will be back to working on it in a few weeks as i am mega busy next weekend
