Looks good Chris!
That’s a beefy manifold!
When will the car be on the road you think?

I fitted the complete exhaust system yesterday and everything lined up very well although I did have t0 shorten the IMASAF straight pipes (under the passenger compartment floor) by about 20mm.
I havent tightened everything up properly just yet but I am very pleased so far.
As to a date for the car being on the road Torstein perhaps you should ask Jacky!!!!  When we bought the car the plan was to have this project finished in 2021!!!! That was the deal with my wife at the time.
Lots of things have conspired to push this back including Covid, Brexit rules and most recently my ' THB holiday' in the Royal Brompton Hospital in February!
Once good weather appears I tend to not want to work on any garage based project as I would rather be outside to be honest.....and we have a couple of thousand vines + many fruit trees to look after
Today I would say that this autumn is a realistic target - all i have to buy now are some new door and bumper rubbers from Cicognani.
Today my plan is to finish cleaning the B12 block and then hopefully refit the crank, rods and new pistons before returning to the UK tomorrow for a few weeks of cardiac rehab exercise.
