Actually, yes; about 2 years ago.

I thought I'd make more progress on my engine install than I have. Currently, 2 10 mm lock nuts are slowing things down .
I hope to have them tomorrow morning.
The ones I have are to far gone to re-use.
They attach the A-pipe to the mainfold.

I refinished the non flexible part of the A-pipe with some VHT high temp ceramic paint. Looks better than all the rust.

Once again looking good. I am interested to see how the paint on the exhaust will hold up, I will soon be faced with the same task of what to do with the exhaust on my project as well.

I tried some years ago and truthfully its temporary on the exhaust parts. It seems to slowly fade away until its gone. Weird I know but it does hold up for about a 'season' of driving

If you ever need the pipe to manifold nuts any VW shop will have them in stock, with the 17mm socket size.

The nuts can be had through Honda, albeit a little pricey.
Quite a difference between new and rusty.

Got to get back to the install - too much procrastinating.
