Call me old fashioned, but I'm trying as much as possible to keep it original. Only outwardly different things so far are the exhaust (original fell to bits internally) and the rad header tank.
I don't doubt there are better, more modern ways of doing things and I'll fall back on them as a last resort. Just wanted to replace the one damaged pipe with an original item, just to keep it looking neat.
