Day 1 of ?

And I continue to find screw ups caused by my old mechanic, who I though was great at the time. (Hence, why I am now doing it myself.) The rear underbody shield was completely missing, and the oil drain plug must have been torqued to 100. It stripped and after an hour of elaborate maneuvering with a very large breaker bar and bolt extractor I finally got it out, and called it a night.

I had never been all the way under any car before, and I must say I really enjoyed doing it myself (at least, so far).

Planning to do a post on everything once I finish up in a few days.


(The garage cleanup is a work in progress.)
Nice
you are a busy beaver
