[V8] The end of the Black Mariah?

[Mike Del Tergo]

Roger,
I know your pain with 2 x 200 20v avants at one point.  Can help you with 
the right parts and the wrong delivery, other than to get a better source. 
plenty out there for these parts and they deliver no matter how far out in 
Maine you are, BTDT.  IME Stebro is much cheaper than stock, and last I 
checked, about 2 months ago, htre was one 20V muffler in the system at ~$600 
+-.  I'd go Stebro and I posted maonths ago about group pricing.  IF you go 
that way maybe WE could do a twofer as I am looking as well.  It would be 
terrible to get rid of Mariah as you seem to be cresting the refurbish 
"Heartbreak Hill"

Or maybe it's the end of the Type 44.

So the repair, as well as the damage to the hood will be done at zero cost
to me.  Great.  But I am still without the car, because the new strut that
came in and the new shock mount was wrong.  Seems when the right part
numbers are ordered, the wrong parts always come since the 20valve is so odd
a vehicle.  And I confess that I am close to being done with this.
