Managed to bunk the afternoon off so decided to take the car down to RSR in Redhill to try and get the tail pipe straightened.
The guys were really helpful and got the car straight up on a ramp but from there on it went a bit downhill. Basically I found out that the back box, which they have stated isn't Powerflow as originally thought, is more bent than Louie Spence.
Not only is the tail pipe bent but there is a crease where the pipe meets the other side of the back box. On top of that there is a big kink in the pipe as it goes over the trailing arm causing the pipe to rub and pulling the mid-section into the floor:
Don't really have the money for RSR to build a new back box (£150) and there don't seem to be any going on eBay so I think it's time for plan b, which is to forget mods, put the car back to standard and concentrate on restoring the bodywork to it's former glory.
Really quite annoyed, mainly at myself for not spotting it before handing over money, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes.
Not the best of days
