I finally got around to installing the vintage speed exhaust today. It fits nicely and sounds good, haven't driven with it on yet but first impressions are positive, I like the longer tailpipes on it over the GT. All the flanges and fitting is a bit fiddley but went on without a hitch. This style of system could on be installed due to the adjustable flanges, my modified stock system was too wide given the amount that was taken off the heads for compression, the GT was flexible enough to move about.

Hopefully that album works. Given the car a really good wash and polish, added the towel rails back to the car, and also replaced the coil nc added an electronic ignition to the 019 dizzy, unfortunately the NOS points and condenser weren't working anymore and grounding out internally.
The bumpers are a bit of a mixed bag, back in 2010 or 2009 I had been parked and rear ended by a 7 series, which bent my good Aussie made stainless towel rail, given the budget at the time I simply unbolted both bumpers and carried on with it, but I really do like the towel rails, so the rear is a German chromed bar and rail with Aussie stainless overriders, the front is full stainless and original. The towel rail supports have been filled in since I've owned the car, behind the panel are little blanks blocking the holes, another thing on the to do list I suppose!
Well might be another 12 months until the next update, the GT exhaust is up for sale too if anyone is looking for one.
