Have fun putting some miles on it this summer. Just like the desert.....that car is CLEAN!
Thanks Bart! I think you meant Passenger front plug It's a real pain.

I will be bookmarking this thread for the maintenance list for sure. Is there a secret, outside of plain old-fashioned elbow grease, to getting the underside of the engine so clean?
I used an assortment of brushes/swabs, lots of elbow grease, and WD40

Fantastic write-up, the car looks great.

As for that fella that resides in Maryland, he's ok. Gotta be careful with him though, he always overcharges for shipping.

Beautiful Nam! I seriously considered buying that car when it was advertised! If our dollar was better, it would have been on its way to Canada...

Enjoy in good health!

great looking yeller!

What method did you use to get to the bitch plug? I need to do the same, and have been studying Jackal's instructions. Any tips?

I specifically used the following tool and it made life really easy. same instructions you see all over but the overall length and wobble make this major key
