As I mentioned before I have booked the car in to have the exhaust made. This is set in stone and so if I miss the date I will have to wait for a while, which I really dont want to do! However for them to make the exhaust they need to know what they have to miss. The rear deck of the car is mounted, but up to this point I hadn’t bothered attaching it to the frame. I was just a little worried that when i tow the car the rear deck might break if not attached at the rear bouncing over the bumps. So on with a couple of dzues fasteners. The first job was to drill a pilot hole from underneath through both the ally and the glass, making sure that the spring will fit!
