Replaced motor mounts.
Changed oil

Lost that obnoxious grinding noise on acceleration when the fan hit the shroud.

Wanted to shoot whatever a hole decided that the oil filter adapter should have Loctite red on the bolt. Took a 2' pipe + my wrench to get it loose.

Gonna do the trans mount next weekend

Not bad. Just be ready for that oil filter adapter. Change the oil at the same time, its cleaner that way.

The old struts work great as a 'hood lift'. No more hot hands.

Hmm, maybe I should check mine out, I get that noise under hard acceleration on left turns.

Motor mounts are easy.

I think I'm gonna do the Brown Dog rubber ones when the stroker goes in.

The lack of passenger window control drove me absolutely bat**** crazy. So I fixed it.



Without paper clips.
