    little rear overhaul at home

    I scratched the body, really when taking out the exhaust manifold. you are right, it is necessary to protect much better. my blanket fell just as I was going against the bodywork. the most difficult is to see the collector practically out, but you have to climb the car another 2 centimeters.
