Glad you like them! Unfortunately I forgot my good digital camera at work the weekend I did the shocks and springs. I was pissed that I had to use my old 640x480 max resolution camera

I haven't done any writeups lately because the car has been running pretty well.

I think I'll have the grand-daddy of writeups in the springtime when I take apart a section of the engine to replace the timing chain/sprockets/guide rails and I'll also drop the oil pan and check the upper pan bolts.

In Europe, they're located in the engine compartment.

Changing the fuel filter is easier than replacing the spark plugs.....loosen four clamps, replace filter, retighten clamps....right in front of driver side rear wheel!
