That sports exhaust though.


That looks so similar to a motorcycle exhaust I have to assume thats what it is.

As is the ongoing theme with this thread and project, I looked at the car today and decided to do something completely different to the things written at the top of my to-do list and went straight to waxoyling the front wishbones.


This is good though. When I was restoring my old motorcycles I'd tend to take a few days here and there to make something look nice and it always helped boost spirits so I could tackle one of the miserable jobs.

It starts and runs well but how could the compression be that bad?

There was someone here that posted about some old lady who owned an eighties 4 cylinder BMW that had such miserable compression that it would start rolling away parked in gear making a POOSH POOSH POOSH sound as it escaped. Car otherwise ran fine according to the owner.
