RE: [doc] Windscreen Surround Painting/General Waffle

["Chris Parnham" <cp@xxxx>]

Is there a demand for my old exhaust components? We have cut the silencer up
to see how it was done. I will keep the manifolds, there really was not much
else!

CP I'll ask Dave about his engine.

Okie Doke - but I'm on a bit of a tight budget. Do you know if it's a
new one or "young" one.... what's on it? Alternator? AC compressor etc etc?

How much do you want for your old exhaust components?
