Exhaust is out. Now what?

[BMDoubleDrew]

Just removed exhaust from headers back in anticipation of new system arriving in next two weeks. Since the car is in the air and I have full access to the underside, what else should I attend to? Fuel filter is on the list, but I was looking for suggestions of things I should check, replace, clean or inspect on the underside while I’m waiting. Thanks much!

No harm in checking the diff and gearbox oil levels, or even changing the oils, if you know that they haven’t been done.

Hard brake lines from front to back? Only because I know I have to change mine before the MOT next month (stern message on last year's ticket) and I'm dreading doing the job

Tank straps and handbrake cable

Any worn bushes? A good clean underneath, outer sills off to check the inners, remove the Jack pads to check for corrosion. Beware it’s a slippery slope once you start delving and then the big ideas begin

Thanks all for the suggestions!

Agree on checking all the hard brake lines front to back also the fuel lines for corrossion replace any that are badly pitted.
Fuel filter is easy to get at with the car raised you may need to replace the rubber hoses on that so be prepared with some fuel line rubber to hand and new clips.

if it's in the air you may as well drop the rear subframe out and refresh all the bushes, suspension and brakes, shouldn't take too long

Get the sills off and check, clean up and waxoyl the inners

Could do a rebody to the Ferrari 250HT

With the exhaust off you might as well go for a full bare metal respray.
