Elo -
Wanting to know if its worth repairing not sure on its market value and worth. Also can it be reapired i beleive it can, but no expert.

I have attached the exhaust pic.

The break is at the rear end of the back box.

The exhaust is a RE-Amemiya i think its a dolphin box.:2Mad

Has it just sheared at the welds, not rusted? If so then yeah, someone should be able to weld that up easily enough for pennies :)

It looks to be. The rust dosent seem to be too bad however i havent really checked the ends that will require fusing together good point will check today.

I refitted the back section and drew a line accross both parts.
What has helped me is that there are weld marks that line up so I shouldn\'t have to worry about re fitting.

We on a + after removing the rear will it gave me an opportunity to see what coilovers I had very pleased to see ohlins.
Happy days.
