Fitting the Tubis
Firstly the plastic engine cover came off.
Next the honeycomb grills
Now the bumper and wheels
Note the size of the standard exhaust! The Tubi weighed less than one side of it!
Old exhaust out. Only major problem so far was the brackets holding the exhaust to the cats. The bolts were corroded and had to be drilled out. New better quality bolts were used to replace them.
The Tubi
The Tubi in place
2nd problem was that the heat shield that covers the exhaust no longer fitted. So it had to be modified. Its brackets were removed, it's shape was changed, brackets riveted back on, re-painted and it looked better than before. 3rd problem was an 02 sensor was jammed solid in the old exhaust. We got it out, but the sensor no longer had a thread. Luckily we had a spare!
