Did a few things over the long weekend. Managed to get the exhaust all finished and welded up, and managed to make it not hit anything or be close enough to hit stuff:

That includes the big subframe brace which clears the exhaust nicely. Also welded in the front mounting points, which was a pain in the butt due to angles of lying under the car and the massive contamination in the steel over the years. Nevertheless its done and all back in place.

Apart from the boring stuff of putting axles back in etc, i also put a little magnifying glass into my quarter window:

Its a window vent kit from Beavis, and fits quite well in there. Apparently though the convex nature of the vent can act as a magnifying glass and lead to a burning trans tunnel. Time to find some frosted vinyl to cover over the vent.
While i was there i found another little oddity with this car. What is missing from the second picture here?
