It's solid as a rock though!
To do it neatly needs welding and fabrication, a job for later on with my mates mig.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to, I guess it's body length, I measure 57" along the door sill between the guards.

Yeah about 4" short of the end of the sill.....no big deal for me. I wonder if the factory five cars that the pipes are off are shorter.

There was probably no point in trimming in leather, adding an offside mirror, having all those gauges, running 'hallibrand' wheels, etc etc etc in fact my wife can't see any point in the whole bluddy car.....  |
I was reffering to the wheel base, but I see you have said yours is 100mm longer so it will be a 94 inch wheel base as opposed to a 90 inch (original) wheel base.
Hence the pipes being 4 inches short.
