Cut it with the bumper angle, it's long enough so you can try a few times

Rolled tail pipes are so 2008 - will so look much better straight or slash cut.

Its funny how people desire the ultimate car, regardless of brand. When they achieve that goal, they get bored. How can you get rid of something that can't be topped?

Only way I can think its easy for you, is the credit crunch has reached your wallet and selling is a financial must. I mean, look at the pics...or in your case, look at it in the garage. How can you let all that work go, and without being able to enjoy it for a short while on the road

I like so many others implore you to reconsider! Please!!!

yeah i know what you mean - and it would kill me to see someone else driving about in my "build"... so we'll see what happens with this one.

Like i said bud its far too close to break or sell, if you dont have time just now then cover it up till you do, or better still leave it a month or two, i can bet it wont be long till you at it again and making progress!

I agree with you mate, I have regretted getting rid of most of my nearly ready projects and so does my main help with my projects (my dad).

Keep on with it fella, you know it will be worth it in the end.

Continuing to modify the exhaust to fit the 2wd manifold... added 38 mm to the downpipe.





The back box fits in the hole pretty well , just need to adjust the tail pipe so it fits PERFECT

Don't break it - possibly the nicest example i've seen of a Focos

I've come really close to breaking mine a few times, been off the road a year now, really struggling to find the time to work on it and paying a grand a year to insure it and £40 a week to store it...

But then i get the urge to finish and use it and go back to it

Looks really good so far mate, keep up the good work!
