looks good,

If it were me I would give the engine bay a good scrub with some car shampoo before you add any more pipes/ancilleries. It would be a shame to have that lovely looking engine with grime around it.

probally a silly question but should my car have the big black pipe?

I'd say yes, but what year is it just to be sure?

1955 2 door

Nope! That's long before the fresh-air heaters were first fitted. I believe you ought to have a drum-looking heater with a single knob, that doesn't have the fresh-air intake from the radiator cowl (which is what the pipe is).

phew got me worried there

my 63 has the early heater, I think the fresh air intake is in the floor behind the steering rack
