Now that's not fair Mike - what you did was nothing short of amazing (would have given you 10/10 but for one mistake

)

Hummpt...that "mistake" was technically timed to allow for the some interactive quizzing...and it extended the excitement for a few days... :-)

Good memory!

Thanks Bob...I have the DIY almost memorized and have been studying it for about 1 month. I also subscribed to some other threads and saw your little journey too. Thanks for the support...I just started the job today.

Good Luck!

Hi

So far for me I would say the CV joints was about a 6.5 on the badness scale and getting the heat exchangers off and snapped exhaust studs out is currently at 7.5 soon to be 8.0

<< In total awe of you guys.

For me it's either adding HIDs or replacing the engine air duct (thanks to Bart for the pic below and Falcondrivr for the replacement part.

)
