CAPRI coming HOME tomorrow Morning

Post by Sandy »

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

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.
