So far only I only have one issue, the master cylinder rear brake line is where the washer fluid tank wants to live, so I'm going to have to bend a new brake line. I need to make a to-do list.

I'd probably wager, that a team of Nuclear deconners came in after the hospital crew departed. Not one atom of contamination anywhere. Dirt doesn't dare to go there...

That looks like an old school Borla from late 80's early 90's area. Had a pair on my 87 mustang GT. Loved the throaty sound and the burble.
