Time for an update.
Been taking the car to a private road to get some mileage on the new exhaust and brakes. Im really happy with the exhaust note and the brakes are something else!!! 
Will be having a heated screen and polycarb window kit fitted in the next few weeks. Once they are in ill be getting the car weighed. Im hoping for sub 850kg, if not the grinder and hole saw will be out

Yes ive sorted it with some new and different positioned pulleys. It wasn't slip is was wondering. The main problem (i think) was the fact i wasn't using an auto tensioner to take up the slack.

nice to see someone build a custom exhaust with mandrel bends rather than welding universal parts.

Few pics of the progress over the few days
Side widows in
Heated screen in (right mission on your own!!!)
Single wiper to save some weight!!
Still need to wire up the screen, going to run it from a fused relay which should be here in a few days.
Rear screen isn't fitted yet as im not sure if im going for a fibreglass tailgate yet.
