New exhaust fitted....$750 later
car now running like a dream!....Wont win any races, but at least the backfire is gone
sluggish going up hills when cold, but that is likely normal from what I have googled.
Next job is to get some new 7.50R16 tyres, then sort out the 2 rust holes in the pillar!...this may test my welding skills!
i have now officially paid more on repairs than I did for the actual car Lol!!
