Re: Exhaust replacement, 1.9 watercooled, petrol 1990 (H)

All suggestions taken on board here, thanks for the ideas. Won't be going so far as removing the engine though! :lol: The Stainless system I picked up from JK was branded "Preservation" and came with all gastets and bolts, got it for a bit under £350 in their sale (Well worth waiting for!)...
