Woohoo, finally got the headers fitted and the car is back on the road, sounds a hell of a lot better too. Found one of the fluid lines to the steering rack was loose too, no more leak. Steering actually feels better, but a bit light, so maybe the rack still needs replacing, but I can drive it so I'm happy. About to wash it and put it away, going to hit the bonnet with the buffer, see if I can get it looking a bit better, only real downside to the car right now is the exterior look, got someone lined up to respray it when the funds are in.
