    Finally got the exhaust done over the weekend.. In retrospec, I should have had it done at a shop, the welds would have been nicer, and it wouldn't have taken me a month. Oh well, most shops around here wouldn't touch it anyways since there is no cat.  The mufflers hang a touch lower than I hoped they would, but I'm still satisfied with it. I need to get the bumper trims to finish it off.

    And I'm not sure how to get video to embed since the last forum update, so here's a link. I'm definitely happy with how it sounds!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaUK3QD6-vw

     

     

    After that, I got the rear brakes replaced and got to work on the wheels.. They are the original 16" meteors. They had been painted white previously, then someone painted them black, and then had several coats of black plastidip on them.. Each paint job seemed to have been prepped with an angle grinder or maybe a battle ax, hard to tell..  Either way, I had these sand blasted, wire wheeled, and stripped and got them as clean and bare as I could. There are still chips, gouges, and all kinds of imperfections, but they look better than before. From 10 ft, you can hardly tell... Or maybe 20-30 ft.. Depends how good your eyes are. They are only winter wheels anyways. Plans are to get pegs or something nice in the future.

    The color goes well with Saffron.

    I have the same wheels and I need to repaint them.  What color did you use?  They look great.
