Today, got the t'stat replaced and the rear shocks & springs replaced.
Not too exciting, but here is the finished shot of the t'stat replacement effort...
No pic of the new t'stat, but there isn't anything special about it anyway.
Unfortunately, it seems like a good 1/4 of the coolant ended up on the ground...
Soaked up by the towel.
Rear shocks & springs, new (inside) vs old (outside)...
The old shocks might have been on there since new... here we are at 340K miles later!
Here they are installed...
Looking forward to trying them out! In the background, you can see the replacement exhaust pipe... needs a bit more welding before I put it on.
Started on the front struts & springs and I can already tell they're going to be a bugger to get off and replaced....
