Far out Dan, yep thats pinchweld! How much is this thing gonna cost to post, sure you dont want any post money?

You should see how much cleaning i need to do, all windows have a thick layer of black soot on them, everything is just covered in it. It stinks too, now i stink like it, even after a shower! The headlining is pretty much out now just have to remove it from the front and rear window rubbers. The interior light is just a yellowed blob on the roof!

I told you it was all free, I've just gotta find a way to fit it in my poor little GTi to get it down to the post office...or Courier.
I've got a good coupe headlining...not much good for the sedan though.
Just think how clean it'll all be when you're done getting that stuff off it. You should get the exhaust guy onto it....he did it.

Awesome stuff! Coupe headlining wouldnt fit because of rear doors. The bloke that was welding has knocked the price of a new headlining off the exhaust price but im gonna try and find a original one because i really like the original look, he already has a big enough cleanup at his work, it was about a inch under water when i was there yesterday!

How do you go with liability in this case? If a exhaust place damaged your car don't they have to pay? Or was it the 'mates' exhaust shop.....I've been there before....

Im just happy he's gonna knock $250 off the price of the exhaust, or he was going to replace the headlining but i dont want a new modern one. He is a real good guy, so i dont want to make a meal of it, S*it happens!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man! that i didnt want to hear! its making me depressed, ill see what i can round up for ya eg back seat n maybe some carpet if a mate has it still. duno if its great or whatever but itll do if you want it. let ya know soon.

I havent got any photos when the car still had the burnt interior in it, went straight in the bin, the fumes from it all was incredible. Still stinks.

At least ive got a excuse to go for a full cage, the rego idea is long gone now i think.

No good at all whitey........
Don't give up on the rego, I think you are the inspiration for some other prospective L series converts
I hope Benny isn't going to read this - I have just modified the exhaust on his coupe and I would have to leave the country if his interior went up in flames
At least your exhaust guy is upfront and standing by you.
Good luck mate.
Cheers
