    Manifold

    I think they're M10 copper nuts. I had to buy some when I replaced my head gasket. Got mine from Sopers BMW. It's been 6 years ago now so I may be wrong on the size. @Lee would know

    What Is He Doing !??

    I don't think those knife edges on the bolt on parts would be acceptable in the UK but as you guys have already noted, I've seen much worse.

    Expired Private Reg

    I'm sure Jill still has D17LDO on retention cert. She got it on her Audi when she worked for Ann Summers. It's featured in a few Lads Mags over the years along with various comments =))

    Jacking advice

    You can put your jack under the diff and lift both rear wheels at the same time and then put the axle stands under the jacking pad.

    shed find widebody

    Great find. Doesn't look too bad either for a car left in an open garage. Get underneath and check all the suspension rubbers
