Has that dangling exhaust been redone?

The exhaust was tightened up at a local shop a little while ago.

I would say most everything from the radiator to the rear diff since the time your previous employer and ex-boyfriend sold me the car. Only thing I never did much with is the body. Which was my plan this year had I decided to keep the car.

Really? Cause thats not what you said to me in a PM a long time ago.



Not trying to be a ***** or question you and it really doesn't matter at this point as its been several years, just stating facts as I have them and remember them.

Can you air the dirty laundry elsewhere? I had a legitimate question. Id appreciate private messages remaining private. Thanks.

I was only trying to help you back then, before you sank thousands of dollars into an SVX that should have probably never been put back on the road without MAJOR thorough work, some of which still has not been completed. Used components and MAACO paint hardly constitute a restoration. I saw this car at Tom Krynock's house on the lift, and took a look at some of your mechanic's handy work (reference: welded washers instead of replacing rubber diff bushings), and noticed very advanced underbody rust and rot on most items.

Edit: You also neglected to mention that the car was salvaged once, according to it's history, in a major front end collision with which some of the front clip was replaced.

It was not dirty laundry until you tried to lie to me. Lets keep the facts straight here.

I have a carfax on this car for anyone that wants to see it. And yes it was in an accident back in 1994? or 1995 can't remember, says in the carfax. Something the previous owner mentioned above failed to tell me until after I bought the car. It sure as heck was not "fully serviced ready for summer driving" when I bought it, but it is a heck of a lot closer to that now.
