New exhaust in place!

Didn't get the time to do it before today, but now it's done :) It was way easier to install than it would have been to install a NOS one... it was easy to access all the bolts. And the fit was perfect, so Danish exhausts are great! I have tried a Brazilian made exhaust on the beetle, and the fit was terrible, and rust... oh lord... As usual, here's some pics:

Ready to assemble new exhaust

Yesterday I painted the final coat on the exhaust parts, and today I'll assemble it (at least that's the plan ;) ). The heat resistant paint got a really nice finish, and hopefully longtime protection.

Removed old exhaust

There was almost nothing left of the old exhaust, the rust had eaten almost all of it. I painted the heater elbows, and tomorrow I'll get some paint for the new exhaust...

In need of some welding... o'yes!





















































Luckily, there's som parts that just need some new paint :)

Pics from the garage

Started to strip out the luggage compartment yesterday. As this car is mainly a summer car, I'm going to remove the petrol heater. The only things left are the wiring harnes for the front lights and indicators. It's obvious that the car has had som acidents in the past, so som metalwork had to be done. Knocked out som dents, and as this was my first shot at it... it didn't go terribly wrong :)
