Have you driven with that set up yet Chris ? Be interesting to see how much the engine moves about and wether the pipes hit inside of the holes ?

Just make the holes bigger if so

*Insert comment about hole size proportion to connector flange inlet and outlet girth ratio*
Started it up with the panel in place and clearance is good, the new engine mount bushings definitely help. Currently prepping panel ready for paint.....again

Will that panel take a lot of heat?
I just know from my VW days the an exhaust that close to rear apron creates a hell of a lot of heat (and paint bubbling / flaking)

So bringing this back up to date.
It moves !!
With that, sent it off to get alignment and have the brakes re-bled and checked through....
In the care of the appropriately named HECKMANN and THIEMANN...

Meanwhile, spent the time finishing off the new rear panel...
Back from alignment and a quick polish. The resprayed door had only been wet sanded, so needed abit of polish and glaze rubbing in...
I have never really "properly" cleaned the car in the whole time I have owned it...Its only ever been sprayed and wiped down, but I can see that it will benefit from a deeper clean, the areas I have focused on really do sparkle after a quick polish...makes the car more red (though I will be sympathetic, as I do like the sun-kissed orange tone) !
