Before and After

A knock at the door at 07:15 this morning and the man from City Link delivered this.



The manifold has had a ceramic coating on the inside and outside of the pipes and is designed to transmit the exhaust temperature down the exhaust pipe instead of radiating through the walls and heating up the engine bay. This was done by Camcoat and is rated for 1000°C, I am very pleased with it.



Picture before coating process, looking a bit worse for wear.

After yours of course

[John Hall]

Thanks for the comments.
Hopefully, the car will be running later this year and will be at all the major shows in 2008.

After yours of course

I agree.
It is hard to compare Worthers as a restoration to mine.
Which I consider a project to make a Harrier into Group 4 RS1800 road / track day car with a 2.3 Duratec engine installation.
