Been down to the garage this week,
Have put front end back together. Undersealed under boot floor. Removed old exhaust system.
Pointless fact the old exhaust is 13kg and the new supersprint 9kg.
I was waiting on a few bits from Citroen but my mate Tim (Tim_W) saved me and have the bits. So can now get the zaust fitted.
Heres a few pics
And yesterday i didn't make it to the garage but got the battery box all drilled up and padded out inside.
I have also purchased a battery isolator switch from Sparco_Tom, should be on its way:

Had a couple of hours down the garage Saturday so got the battery box fitted.
Cars coming along at a nice steady pace at the moment....
Finally got the exhaust fitted today. Think i may be blowing a little from the ring of fire but i will get that sorted.
Had a bit of scare today! Will go into that in a second
I had just fitted the exhaust and got the car out the garage as it was gassing me. Put the handbrake on firmly, went into the garage to fetch my camera to get these pics........i heard a noise.......i turn around to see my car had slide down the drive and was sat in the middle of the road. Im very lucky nobody was coming down the road at the time.
Here is the drive the xsi slid down:
After this little event i decided to get the car tucked back up in the garage

Wolfie - I did think the cable had snapped but handbrake was on firmly. I got the car back up the drive and sat in it with handbrake on and it slid down the drive again! Wasn't best amused tbh

Another small update. Got my battery cut off switch fitted today. Was quite awkward drilling as the windscreen got in the way!
This will probably be the last update for a while now.

Looking good man. Loving where you've put your cut off switch
so how does the supersprint sound then? Looks good with it on though, i think they look a bit more subtle than the pugsport, I still wouldn't say no to one though lol
why's this going to be the last update for a while? If u don't mind me asking.
