This escalated quickly! 1.8 is out, getting ready ready for the 2056 to go in.

I will start to clean up the engine bay and the underside of the car to prep for the new motor.]

It's Sunday, so you know I have Updates.

Last weekend I picked up an original Bischoff Sport Series muffler. It had been lightly used and removed from a car back in the 90's. The muffler had most of the original paint and the original chrome tips. I wanted to preserve the metal, so I had it cerakoted.

I was feeling adventurous and thought I would try a Titanium color. You can see the protective wrap on the muffler body still.

I couldn't help but place it on the car just to see how it would look. The Titanium color doesn'tlook as gold in person or when it's next to the car.

Pretty happy with the way it looks without the chrome tips.

he current shin bash count is zero, I am sure that will go up.

Does anyone make a metal rear valance without the muffler exit cutout? I would like to get one without this notch.
