I'm depressed looking at having to tidy up 3 or 4 pipes and a half a dozen wires.
Its making it all look nice and tidy that lets me down.
Also looking at how rusty / rotten the front end is. If i have time i'll take it off and paint it. My new engine and gearbox mounts will be here tomorrow (thanks Andyrew). So once they are in thats the actual conversion and upgrades done.
Still got my recovery points to weld on and wheels to fit. I'm not sure if the front end looks worse than it is myabe a quick grind and flat and paint and it'll look ok? Wont it?

Its looking a little bit tidier but not by much. Its not a lack of space the causes problems for me but getting all the additional pipework to fit in the right place.
Another small win know that all the power steering bits and pieces work. Just waiting for the mounts to arrive tomorrow.
Not 100% sure how i'm gonna do the exhaust, thinking a piece of flexi pipe will sort it.

I need to fit the 1300 engine mounts Dan, that should lower it a bit and the adaptor plate sticks out past the engine and gear box. May have to grind it flush.
Failing all, a very noisy ride down to Exhaust A Fix and have it cut and pit a flexi pipe in or just get a new down pipe made.
