Yep. Already have it mounted up. Welded back together, and gaskets that will fit it found locally

The resonator that was rattling was doing so because the insides have crumbled and are clogging the path. Also shaking around. It should flow awsome once I replace that resonator.
MMMMMMMmmmmm..homebrew beer!!

I am currently in the middle of removing all the rear bushings. Not a particularly easy job considering the bushings are fused to the metal. I am drilling around the rubber until I can remove the center pin. Then I am chiseling the rest of the rubber chunks out. After that, I set it ablaze and let the remaining rubber cook itself crispy and then I scrape it out.

1 more lower arm to burn out and then the Watts linkage bushings. Then I reinstall the new RE-SPEED bushings

I also think I am going to undercoat the rest of the car while the axle is out of the way....maybe.
