79 repairs?

Sirfixalot,
Car is in holding yard until we agree on who will fix it.
I'm thinking there may be a few parts to getting this going again, and this may be done by different repairers,
1. Subframe check and suspension repairs,
2. Motor repairs,
3. Body work and replace damaged wheels,
Manny thanks for the offer regarding parts, I'll let the repairer know about the parts and discuss how they will source. First thing I will need to get the assessor to look at it and discuss repairer options?
Cheers, lefty

Ouch.. that looks painful Lefty.. Its good to hear you came out unscathed.. and is all well ...
Lefty:
Hi,
Whilst repairs continue there may be an oportunity to replace the exhaust. The current system sounds sweet, but is damaged.
The currnet system ends up in one pipe travelling under the RHS of the car. I have noticed there are two cutouts in the cross member and was wondering if a twin pipe system was better?
Will it breathe better?
Does the single pipe system provide something that may be lost with a twin system?
Will it sound as good?
May thanks in advance for your response?
Cheers
Lefty

Could have been worse, I'm good, no other cars involved, just a very second hand vette and some kerbing to repair.
Cars in a holding yard until Shannon takes a look,

Single pipe is to allow a single catalytic converter (saves cost, weight and heat exposure). Twin system will definitely breath better but would require 2 cats to be legal. If that's not an issue for you, go the twin system. :thumb:
