Mainfolds back, 2.5" system. Went together pretty easily, past experience helps. I hate getting rubber bushings over the barbs for the tailpioe hangers! I used some grease, but when your under a car, it sucks no matter what. Went easier than my gray car, so I didn't use as many swear words, until I got it on, then let a few fly. The worst part IMO.
I still have to cut the H pipe down to fit the head pipes correctly, and trim the tailpipes to get the tips under the bumper.
I'm taking today off, one, it's mothers day, too, I'm beat after being up 36 hours yesterday. I slept hard last night and have nothing left in the tank. I'll be back out tomorrow morning to wrap up the pipe install, with the exception of the driver's side manifold, found out it was cracked, so one is coming. Still on track, other than backing up the start date. I'll still get some seat time to sort things out before June 2nd.
And I'm having a fun time at the new shop. Room to move around and the dirt floor isn't bothering me that much. It's warmer than concrete, that's for sure! We will be getting some nice 8'x3' benches thistweekend to give more space to work on small projects. We are already planning on bringing the '72 W200 here once this car is driveable. Jared has liked helping me with the fixing of my car, and wants to keep working on something. So I'll try to show him as much as I can, he's gonna need to know some things when he takes my gray car to his house, she can be cranky sometimes. He'll do alright.
More cleaning/painting of parts tomorrow, finish the exhaust, and Rob the spare engine of it's bolts, to replace all the missing ones on the 500, tranny bolts, torque convertor bolts, engine mounts, and whatever else I have yet to find. And check the electricals. Easy peasy.
More FCBO brainwashing showing up. I got them so the tip ends just before the lip of the bumper.
