Steven, are those OEM fog lights behind the openings?

Its just not a priority. Im not a huge fan of auxiliary lighting, like separate fog/driving lights anymore. The stock fogs are really pretty useless on the NB1, so Id rather use the existing holes for something functional.
I read fog lights are rare on non-10ae 99s, so I assume these were dealer added or POE accessories. Maybe a previous owner added them.

I wrapped the throttle body elbow and IAT Sensor in some of that gold heat reflective take to try to alleviate some issues with IAT sensor heat soak
Great pics, Steven! What size wheels are those?

Finally got everything I need to install the rear main seal... Except for the install tool... Hopefully that gets delivered this week. Need to source a timing belt kit, too.
Trying to remember if a pvc cap will work on the RSM, but I think the last two I've done, just did it by hand, slowly, and eyeballed it.
Rock auto had a nice Gates TB kit, IIRC when I did mine this year. I was impressed with the waterpump too, nice casting and machining.

After the mess that was James' RMS install / re-install, I'm gun-shy on the thing. Hopefully. the leak is with the round seal, and not the lower gasket. not gonna drop the motor, after all this mess.
Found a cnc'ed install tool for cheap, so I'll just use that, and hold on to it/resell.

I completely understand that.
I find its kind of rare for those saddle seals between the pan and block to leak.
With limited space, like the engine still in the car, I would want to use a seating tool as well. Good luck!
R/Rd the diff bushings and axle seals. Removed the diff after work solo and got it back in. Stopped when the bugs started up for the evening. Just have to reinstall the exhaust, brakes, driveshaft, ladder brace. Maybe an hour of work Ill do tomorrow.
I love Southern cars like these. Everything comes apart so nice! These were the easiest OE bushings I have ever removed. 2 hits each side - BOOM! Done!

I know, it's lovely to crawl under a car without fear of snapping bolts, or getting tetanus.

Just bought a preassembled and de-powered NB steering rack. Saves me having to tear mine apart and get the pinion welded.
