Weekend Update

Nothing too terribly exciting done this weekend but I figured I'd write about it anyway.
I shampooed the interior and although the seats looked fine, I got a lot of nasty brown stuff out of them, I can only assume it was many spilt caramel mocha lattes (I got the car from a college chick)

I found the exhaust leak and welded it and opted to install a new less restrictive muffler and also painted it with exhaust paint to limit premature corrosion

I pulled off the rear drums to inspect them since they have an unknown service history. I flushed and bled the brake system. All of the original brake components were in good order too, which is surprising but saves me money so can't complain.

I don't have any pictures to go along with it but I also hardwired a dash cam and still no luck on finding hybrid emblems that are the right size. The dealer didn't have many in stock for me to test fit so I'll have to keep looking.
