Thanks Jake et al.

Turns out the whole parts scavenging was a bust. The spare front lower
grill had a broken tang at the bottom and the cat and exhaust looked
pretty iffy.

The van was pretty much gone through by the time I got there.

Pretty sure my '81 isn't technically required to have a cat. Just
trying to be nicer to the oxygen we breath by installing one.

Cheers,

Neil.
