Well I did it. After several weeks of interruption I finally got the new exhaust on. Those bolts would not move until I had drilled them 90% out. I must say that getting a particularly rusted stuck part out is as good as a cold beer on a hot summer day. Thanks Peter, particularly for the order of assembly. Having the assistance of this site is something for which I am more grateful than I can express. Mercedesshop has turned me from an admirer of my car (which I came across more than sought out) into a true Mercedes enthusiast. The first part of the newspaper I turn to is the auto classifieds just past Mazda. And when I get an unencumbered Saturday I think to myself I wonder what I can do for her.
