I thought it would be interesting (i.e. morbid curiosity) to see of the horrific work we encounter from the previous owner. The first "Bastardization Award" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) goes to whoever created this muffler assembly in West Texas.

The can over the exhaust reminds me of coming home from college for Christmas in 1982.
I had a first generation VW Rabbit 1976, I was driving from Texas to Colorado to pick up my brother on the way home to Iowa. My exhaust pipe blew out and after looking at the problem at a rest stop, I had two SS Clamps, I dug a thick can out of the trash, cut it and wrapped the can over the hole and tightened down the clamps. We made it all the way to Iowa where we could fix it properly. In this case I was 19 years old and did not have two nickels to rub together so you have to improvise. They used thick metal back then, how that can took the heat I will never know? The things we used to do to get by. Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
