Found the oil leak caused when the new shop was fixing the coolant leak.

It has a VVT oil feed bung on the block that was leaking. He took it off and replaced the crush washer.

So upcoming the harness bar will come off, roll bar in, cross member from boosted fab in, fender braces in, flex fuel tune incoming.

is there a way to reclear the wing with the wing still on the car? the bolts/nuts obviously very easy to get off - the double sided tape on the other hand... it ain't moving. i dont care how it looks i just want to coat it before it disintegrates.

who in the hell made this plastic washer (seatbelt assembly) and how do i get it off? it's mangled/destroyed and it's preventing me from taking this thing apart, which I need the clasp part of my harness attachment for?

Is there a way to pull/remove the frame around the seatbacks for the 8/9, while still getting it to mount? I was to get the seatback a little flusher, someone said they were able to do that and get the seat to just mold around their roll bar
