lots more clearance underneath now, only 20mm but a big difference when there's only a couple of mm clearance anyway lol almost ready for the engine, an engine builder has let me down with modifying my crank so gonna just throw the cams in the standard engine for now and build the other when I have time handbrake relocated to drivers right

cheer fellas, my mates on with the exhaust, might be a while though, originally it was done with 2 1/4 pipe but due to clearance issues Danny remade it out of 2" and its been great, problem Danny's got now is this time I've him got 2 1/2" pipe ;D
