Was hoping to do an oil change, plugs and fuel filter today and with whatever daylight left after work look into blocking some of the lower grill. On lunch break I did my plugs and after work got going with the oil change and fuel filter. Oil change to way too long because I had trouble with the oversized drain plug to handle the striped oil pan threads. By the time I was done cursing the oil change, I moved to the fuel filter and got that done before the sun set. I guess we'll see if new plugs, oil and filters will give a boost in MPG. One day I'll pull the stock belly pan under the front of the car, rig up a grill block and find a way to secure the pan back up to fix the center sag from broken mounts...
Still dreaming up, rear skirts and kamm back...
