PITA exhaust

so, as i'm finding it's better not to skip around when tearing apart the rear end of an e30. i was trying to just leave the exhaust in place b/c the bolts at the cat looked pretty rusted on there and i thought i could just have a muffler place cut them off when the time came.

as i was looking at how to drop the subframe and i decided it was worth my time to go ahead and remove the exhaust...that was easier said than done. i worked on those bolts for almost an hour before i got all 4 off (3 of which just sheared off). Now i can only get one side of the cat back out...i think whoever put it on welded it in place...what the crap???

so now i'm just going to cut it off myself but it'll have to wait for another day b/c it was late the the sawsall would have woken the kids.

oh, i got the axles out as well, not hard at all.

once i get the back end completley off i'll post some pics.
