Been reading tons of fun and handy posts.
I just replaced water pump, radiator and cap, all hoses, all 3 belts (has AC But is a manual 5speed lol) thermostat,csoarkcplugs, wires, air filter, battery and a few misc odds and ends. Did all the work myself and my brother helped. Took a half day and just under 300.00 for everything. Not bad at all. Everything brand new. Woohoo!
Had all boxes checked, tranny, differential, and full service oil change and nothing needed a drain and refill even
So the only thing left ID like to do is new exhaust pipe and muffler. Not sure if catalytic converter is needing it or not but don't think so. What would be a fair price to pay to have this new exhaust pipe and muffler (and hangers where needed etc.) And maybe a new chrome tip on the end cost roughly for just a stock system? I don't want anything special or "performance enhancing" just the stock OEM style but new maybe from Meineke or similar? Just curious what is a fair price if anyone has recently had theirs done. After that I'm done for awhile. It's a winter car mostly but since it has AC (Thatbworks awesome BTW) I've been wanting and have been fixing it up as more if a daily driver and that's about all that's left it could really use/need.
Thank you.
Sorry for the novel but proud of myself for all the work I just did which would have cost a grand had a mechanic/ shop done it.
Thanks all! Glad to be in the forum. Fun stuff indeed.
Thanks
