I PROMISED!!! true dual pics

here is the link to my car domain site CLICK ME theyre up on there. I did the best i could ill put up some more in the next few days its really hard when the car is only a foot off the ground though. Ill also get some pics soon of where it goes over the rear axel soon. If anyone has any questions about the routing of pipes or anything feel free to ask and ill answer/get more pics to show ya. Also remember this is all through stock pipeing and i dont have knowledge about pricing or anything because the previous owner had it done.

My only question to you is what size is the stock exhaust on my car? Im too lazy to go measure it.

Heh well i dont really have a choice because i had a little accident (check page umm 3 or 4) and yeah im saving up to fix her. But yes it is most definitly going to be seeing a garage for the rest of her winters. LONG WINDED STORY>>> when i was first going to get a car i was going to buy a 74-76 vette but then i realized it was going to be a little out of my price range and id never be able to drive it winters. Broke down and was like fine ill buy a camaro for like 4 grand make it descent and drive it year round. Well my friend then had me talked up to willing to spend 7 grand on it just so i find one without rust even if im going to drive it during the winter because at least i have a better starting point. After looking for 2 months in autotrader i went to look at this car (only the second car i had looked at) and when he opens up the garage i went wow that looks really nice and started looking it over. He fires up the engine with the true duals and the chambered mufflers and my knees went weak. I knew i had to have that car. When i bought it at the beginning of last summer it had 86 000 kilometers on it and had never seen a winter not a spec of rust on the thing. The car will see a garage for winters forever and if it ever comes down to a time where i have no garage to put it in i will sell it before i drive it in the winter. I love my car to death

almost same story here. cept i knew i had to drive mine the first winter

bought it from the son of the owner who was an old lady and had just bought an alero, he rescued it from the dealership when she was going to trade it. it had 73,000 kilometers and amazing 10 year old paint. it had a car cover on it when i showed up, and was always parked in the old ladys underground parking. the car was in really good shape exept for minor minor bubbling around the rear quarters and a twoonie sized hole in the lf rocker.
i drove it all year last year back and forth to alliston everyday for two summers and part time in fall/spring putting over 30,000 on the car (sin) in the first winter i slipped into a pole (it jumped in front of me i swear) cause i didnt get snow tires. original berlinetta parts are pretty hard to find. the twonie sized hole was huge now. i came to the car one day kicking the slush off, and a large peice of slush happened to be part of my rocker panel hanging off. when the snow melted my car had quite a bit of new rust on it (DAMN) i got a used rust free hood and a front cover with less cracks on it. i replaced the headlight bar and pulled out the bent bumper metal by tying the car to a tree and backing up till it looked the same as the other side. last may i bought an 86 lincoln towncar to drive in the winter. but i couldnt find indoor or even covered winter storage yet so my car is in the woods on a farm in horseshoe valley. when spring comes ill get the peices put on and the panels fixed. paint may have to wait, as i want a t-topped iroc and plan to drive the berlinetta back to nova scotia incase i have to go back there for a bit and just to get it out of the way. i love the car even though its slow and it was such a sin to drive it all winter, putting hard kilometers on it and rusting it out. although i had alot of fun blowing doughnuts.

theres a little bit of ghettoness you can see on the hood and rear quarter/rocker in the pic with the blue clouds. i decided to drill out the rust and fill it before it spread.
