3 step Wolfgang system. Swirl,polish and wax system. I polished them by hand. A little tedious depending on the damage but totally worth it

So the past couple days been busy. Went under the hood n found that the previous owners were ****ing stupid. They welded the cats to the pipe. Mustve had a exhaust leak and did some backwards bull. So i took the whole exhaust out n chopped it into 2 pieces. Sent the top half 2 get worked on. Deleting the cats N going straight pipe. Had to see who would do it since exhaust shops can get into trouble dealing w. This stuff. Luckily i had someone who knew someone

While that was being taken care of. I did a lil ucf20 grill mod.
Had a 20 grill laying around so i chopped of the sides. Trimmed a little off the top n fit it into the 10 grill bezel. Difference

isnt really big. But i like it. Dipped N cleared the grill before putting it on.

Nice man, I love your 94. That's one of the best years IMO and LOVE the grille mod. Can't wait to see what it looks like. Your exhaust was welded like that for sure because there was a leak. That is a pretty common point for leaks on this car, but it sucks they just welded it like that! Ohh yeah, and Alpine Silver metallic is my favorite color!! Looks just like my old 94!

So today was busy. Took a look at the spark plugs i changed n found that one of the wires was cut cus of the misplacement of the cover. Lol totally my fault. Took out all the plugs cus they were filthy cus of the open header. Went to my friend who is a self proclaimed "welder" n had him help cut n reweld the cats. After we gutted them out. Afterr we welded the cats back. I had 2 run around town looking for o2 sensors since both mysteriously broke. Ordered one at autozone but cudnt find another. Come to find out the new one is the wrong plug size!!! Soo now i have the lower half of the exhaust set up. N waiting for the o2s to get the ypipe up n running.
