Finally stopped working for long enough to get some things done on the car again. Changed out the master cylinder, ran new front brake lines, and installed the front disc brakes. Since I need to run new rear brake lines I decided I better get the exhaust built/installed as well. I bought 3" Magnaflow mufflers and x pipe and then built the rest with sanitary stainless pipe and pre-formed fittings. I've been wanting to learn how to tig stainless and figured this would be a good project since its mostly hidden. I found out that the welding was easy compared to measuring and fitting everything. It took a bit of cursing and a few beers but I got it done.

Master before. It was a little messy


Master after

I’ll post up pics of it installed later this week. I may try taking 2.5” up over the axle and dump behind the wheels. But before then I need to get her driving again. Next up is finishing up the rear brakes.
