Not a lot achieved yesterday - got a cold, which had dented my effectiveness..:sorrow:

However, I picked up the muffler which has had the tail pipe cut off and a section of it rejoined to provide the bend for the side exit. I got a coat of silver heat paint, and looks good - I only meant it to be an interim solution while I find a more appropriate muffler (a little...lot... bigger so as for long distance driving comfort), but suspect it'll be fun for a bit, or until the Law gives me a ticket for noise pollution :cool-new:

Also i fitted one of the seat belt brackets and the rest of the belt. It still needs a couple of washers here and there to either provide a metal to metal mount (as there is Dynamat caught between the bracket and the floor etc), and the radius arm needs a slightly longer bolt so I can fit a Nyloc nut or a split washer. Looks like it will work fine though. I'll get a better photo this these when I can get the car out into the light - the garage is very dark atm.
