    The exhaust exit was swapped to the n/s because the car was originally fitted with two silencers, the tail pipe being fitted to the right hand silencer of course. The exhaust gases originally came in...

    Sad sight seeing a car getting scrapped but at least some of the parts have lived on in other cars. The two nearside doors are now happily sitting on my V70R, many thanks for those!

    Ok, well the passenger side is the easier one to do. You may get a 'dribble' of transmission oil when you take the old one out. The new one will just 'clip' in to the transmission, that is assuming...
