Did some more trading. I sold the wheel that didn't match and took the money and bought a matching aluminum wheel at the junkyard.
Next we need to get the exhaust done.

Swapped the matching wheel on last night and early this morning I put the tow bar on and hitched it up to Big Gulp. Ready to be dropped at the exhaust shop. Van only has two seats and I need 4 so this will have to work.

I'm surprised that you wouldn't fabricate an exhaust out of used stuff.

I could have, but the price I was quoted was pretty good.

Cat is staying. I don't like the follow vehicle without one. We have the o2 sensor hook up and engine is all stock.
It should be ready for us to pick up. I didn't have any help to move it yesterday so we towed it to the shop. Old uhaul tow bar works great. The new backup camera in Gulp put me right under the coupler.

That sounds too easy! I know that lining up my hitch can give me fits, since it rolls backwards after reversing and forwards after being in drive. A camera would really help.

To stop the rolling I set the parking brake. Total costs for a muffler and reusing the tail pipe from the donar van. $72. Its too quiet now.

Yep. That included the price of the muffler.

That's ridiculously cheap. I can't believe you even got the labour for that.
