Well it's been a productive couple of days. I've now completed all the welding on both exhaust manifolds, they now just need a coat of VHT paint and they are complete.

I went rummaging round a scrapyard this morning looking for rubber coolant hoses to connect to the radiator and expansion tank. I got what I needed for £2. Unfortunately the hose I got for the expansion tank is slightly too small in diameter so I'll have to try again.

In the garage this afternoon, I finished up the manifolds, made brackets up and mounted the radiator. I've ordered a hose joiner with a tap in point for a temperature switch that will operate the electric fan which I have yet to mount up to the rad.
