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.

It all looks in good condition. The rear section came off with ease. Its now with welder. Hopefully in a couple of days ill pick it up. Will post some pics.

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.
