I’m trying to find an exhaust kit I can modify welding if necessary to swap out with my car listed above exhaust that’s rusted badly.

Good afternoon,

I found only the catalytic converter pipe for you.

The other pipes look to be unavailable due to the age.

My suggestion is a shop that makes exhaust systems. It would be a custom job made to what you would like on the car.

I would second what Roy said. Find a shop and have a system made up to fit and if the rest of the car is in good shape I would probably go with a full stainless system. It will cost more than plain steel but you won't be replacing it due to rust in a long time. You might try Ford of Europe, that car was sold there longer than it was in the US, however they did create a US specific exhaust to meet the emissions here. Even then you might be able to use much of it and add in the US spec parts like the converter.
