Nice job on those bumper mount areas! I just did mine a couple months ago and it’s a pain in the ass place to work, there’s really no room in there.

QUOTE(r_towle @ Jul 19 2023, 08:56 AM)  I love the hellhole repair method. Step one: remove firewall. Great work Rich Actually, the bottom of the firewall was rusted through. We needed to replace it anyway and we found a NOS panel so the old one came out. It did make access to the hell hole easier. |
