Yup, "Grey-Mac" will be coming home tomorrow. It was done today at 4PM ~ that was too late for me. I stopped in and saw her. I see no damage nor goof-ups. Dust? Very very little, I'll damp wipe her, when home. Now she goes into winter hibernation ~ she went 22 miles, this year. when I get her home, her mileage will be 703

What did I miss? What did it need? over 700 miles? I'm disgusted Sandy!

Oil Change
Oil Filter
Air Filter
Under Carriage Lube
N.J. State Inspection
Install NOS Left Side Muffler to replace original with golf-ball sized hole in it
Add anti freeze and/or check to level of protection
Add & equalize air to tires

Everything was done the 1st day. The muffler
was the problem-job. We wanted to save the OEM parts
that were good, and not replace the entire system, with
non-original parts, when the OEMs were fine.
Weld spots were cut, to save good parts, and replace the
original muffler with the OEM approved replacement,
and then be re-welded. Very expensive way & unconventional too,
of doing it. But, I could not see tossing OEM parts in perfect
condition into the trash bucket.

With the original condition of your cars, I think your muffler solution was a very wise one.
