Just re-read a few earlier pages, some very nice work I wish I had some more motivation to do little things, they all really add up in the end

I get my motivation from looking at cars on here, then looking at mine and thinking "geez, that looks a bit cr*p...need to do something about it"

Anyway, I replaced an exhaust hanger today as the old one was split and the exhaust was banging around in the rear. While I was under there, I noticed now sh*t the tailpipe looked.

Tried cleaning it up a bit with some water and foil which took a fair bit of gunk off. Then dug out the old Autosol and attacked it with that. About 45 mins of polishing by hand it didn't come out too bad.

Whoa shiny o_O

Wow I didn't know your car was so tidy. Top effort man.

I put up with a banging exhaust for about a year before I did something about it. It was ever since my manual conversion. Zorst was a hack job. New one if great until I pile a few homies in the back haha.

Thanks Jonah.

Banging exhaust for a year would have driven me nuts. A few days was bad enough.
