Looking good

You\'re right about getting the tubbys off with the engine in situ, its a bit tight but do able.

Another update for the day.   I cant really work on the car due to rain so I welded up the manifold and neatened it up abit after the flapper was removed.
It isnt super slick neat but really.. who\'s going to notice it

[John_Hudson]

Well... I have withstood the torrents of rain today and after three changes of clothing i managed to get most reinstalled

Manifold replaced, turbos all hooked in, downpipe on steering link re connected and turbo pipes re installed!

Not much more to go..

Well done John, Thanks for the pic\'s, all interesting stuff, Now would be a good time to fit a polished Efini Y pipe if you could get one! save that pipe blowing off with extra boost, i see you have hard pipes already,
Cheers Bob
