A few minor jobs done over the weekend and one major one.
The major one first - got the exhaust manifold welded up and it fits nicely, thanks to Mick the Welder (family friend). Took a while to get it in the right place to clear the steering column but all looks OK in the end. I think I will need to put some heat shielding on the chassis member but that is not a big issue.
Minor jobs then - fitted the seat rails to the seats and tried them in the car (sat there for a while in the drivers seat grinning like a Cheshire cat !), fitted the seat belts to the floor eye bolts and roll bar, received some front window brackets from a fellow 105speed-er got these, the winder mechanism and other brackets cleaned and painted, sanded down the bumpers, Por15 metal prepped them and primed them and finally fixed one of the quarter lights that had a broke bracket.
