I helped celebrate the cars 23rd birthday yesterday when this arrived......

A 1500 mile old Ashley tubular manifold, as recommended by Dr's Pablo and Bart- thanks guys!!

It now looks like this....

....thanks to some UHT paint and a beer in the garden;)

I'll be stripping and painting the brakes supplied by the good doctors, and also speaking to a friendly engine building ninja tonight for a realistic figure of what to expect and whats involved to get there.

So happy 23rd birthday little car, many happy returns!

trick is mate to get the work done while she is out and then hide the stuff best you can, works for me:biggrinjester:

manifold looks great mate top job.
im going to find out how old my car is and when its birthday is to.

pablo is more the doctor with all the research he does and im the sycopath he has to look after with a mind that wonders everywere:smilielol5:

good man for knowing the program i love it to bits, it is a true reflaction on how we work together:D

car should be well responsive with that power prodiction
i could get my GT to about 140bhp BUT that would cost alot in just getting cams bought and fitted.

pinto is sounding the way to go.
