    I replaced the P/S line that connects to the reservoir using this part number 32411138419 and napa transmission hose. Hasn't leaked since spring 2013. Oh and new hose clamps.  Not my picture. [image: IMG\_3302Large.jpg]

    WOW. That is crazy! I wonder what happens when someone bounces off it and keeps going / if they actively try to enforce property damage

    got it out!!! thank god!!! just used and easy out and out it came... weird how when use a tool for a specific purpose that it was made for it actually works. also changed the oils and rotated the tires on my snow beast where I found that the previous owner had almost completely knotted the FL brake hose glad it didn't break on me and explains why the brakes were kinda soft... still wanna put braided steel lines on it for better pedal feel.

    [image: a9yqu9uj.jpg] Trunk lock is installed. Locks and unlocks with ease. I have a new trunk actuator coming. My old one was seized up and locked in one position. I also have a drivers door rebuilding kit. That will be next then on to the passenger door. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Just be ready to cut and extend wires if going that route. Ask me how I know ... I wired up my edis ignition without any f**ks given to make sure it worked as it was intended to. Now I am going back and rewiring it all to actually make it organized and clean looking. I hit myself for not doing it right in the first place. Just saying. Looks like a great project nonetheless. Keep it up!

    It's a pain in the ass to be honest but the end result is worth it. The air dam itself isn't that expensive but getting the euro bumpers to go with it is. There is a pic somewhere on the Interwebs with a air dam like this and no bumper ... it actually looked pretty good.

    Boris3 said: Good to hear they pinned it down. Any sense of why the pump was shorting out and where exactly the short was? Yes. Turns out that at some point, don't know who, where, or when, the bottom of the gas tank got dented at a point directly in line with the pump. This resulted in the strainer getting broken off, and over time, the pump must have sucked up some dirt or gunk in the tank which overloaded it and caused it to short out.
