record time exuast build!!!!
Discussion
hi all! what a day its been!! my geep went for it's MOT thismorning at 10am! all going well untill the tester spots an exuast pipe riddled with holes!! right from the down pipe to the end!! OH NO.........gutted! FAILED!!!
anyways so i went next door to where my dad runs a peugeot and citreon scrap yard, he's on his lunch so we talk it over what to do and where we can find an old escort exuast as soon as possible! after a cup of tea i had a brain wave that we should just build one from all the pipe's on the cars around the scrapy but try to find the correct shape bits to get it so it runs all in the place as the old one! and with only 40min left of my dads lunch break we cracked on!! we cut the old exuast off about 3inch from the turn of the down pipe and then started chopping and cutting all the other bits of pipe we gathered to get the correct shape!! SUCCESS!!!!!
after welding it all together....(part escort, mk3 cavalier, toyota supra, saxo and 306) it looked bang on suprisingly! so we gave it a quick coat of red oxide paint so it kinda matched and i took it back to the MOT center! the bloke could not believe that we had fabricated an whole new exuast system from scratch in under an hour!! and in the bloody rain!!!!
so.....in the end i got my MOT and to celebrate the day i drove the geep all the way home (25 or so mile) in the pooring rain with the roof and doors off!! if only to cool myself down!! so all ive got left to do now is get the towbar sorted and get it taxed in time for newark! no worries!!

Could anyone please tell me when newark is ?I am hoping to go in my jeep. It has been painted over winter from orange and yellow to black. I have also just had my new bottom end built for me it now has a high compression 5.1ltr rover v8 to go in it, Well the compression is quite high it should be around 12.9. Will i get the cheap tax bracket for that !!!!
