Keep at it Piggy. If it drives anything like Tom's when you're done it'll all be worthwhile
As for the fabbing. At one point doing Toms manifold after spending hours cutting bits of old manifold up to maximize available materials, cleaning them up ready to re-use and then starting out with the initial plan things weren't working out and I couldn't see it happening so I sacked it off for the night.
Next morning, fresh start, couple of cups of tea and it still wasn't happening. Tom wanders along so I tell him I'm thinking of cutting it all up and changing the plan. To this I get a definite NO because of all the time I'd already spent.
Amazing how quickly you can cut things apart and end up with a load of bits!
Next time Tom came out all he said was "You didn't did you......" lol
Cutting it all up and re-utilizing the same bits in a different order was the best thing I could have done in the long run That's fabrication for you, especially if you don't do it every day!
