Re: Arthur's 1983 vw rabbit gl build
Got the old exhaust off the parts car until I'm ready for new everything from the headers back. Not in the picture but I was given a new CC and tip. I had to grid the old off, it rusted as one part where the factory U clamp was. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa-be-me/Mk1/mk1%20rabbit/201...
