I've got something like that, but have rarely used it. In fact, kind of forgot I had it! [:@]

We didn't have much time to work on the project so decided that we should just spend the $$$ and get the tool to speed it up.. instead of using hand saw, etc. [:@]

Looks like it is time for a new exhaust?! Or maybe the shop can just cut that section off and weld on a replacement section...

I forgot how fast my Clod was on pavement (all winter, I drove it on snow/ice, so it wasn't too fast) and I hit my basketball pole when I was testing it at midnight last Friday..

I broke 2 suspension arms on the Clod.. it was such a hard hit..

Yeah, that's why it was hard to see.. and I hit it really hard...

Glad that it is just a couple of trailing arms....

I got some coming in from eBay.. so hopefully the Clod will be fully functional by this weekend!!

Looks like it is actually more like $2,000!

(prob. due to the difference in exchange rate)
