Here we go.....!

Right, first things first. New bolts arrived for clutch slave - so it was bolted in and the hydraulic pipe fitted. At last.... the b****y clutch is finished!!
This now meant that I could crack on with the exhaust.... which I did. First job was the link pipes between headers and balance box - bit fiddly and a bit of bashing with a hide mallet but all went together OK:
Then it was the link pipes between the balance box and the rear silencers, including the rear hanging bracket - looks a little off centre in the photo but the clamps are not tightened yet as the rear silencers need to fit over the pipes first - I'm not fitting these yet as they will take up precious garage space:
So there we go - bulk of the exhaust completed - there does appear to be a reasonable amount of clearance at this stage (OK body still needs to go on but the suspension has not been pre-loaded yet).
Think I'll start on my fancy brackets and engine bay plumbing next.
