What a struggle.
At least I made room for it inside. Hit 100f today ( almost 38c. )
New rack on the way, just ordered mounts and bolts. Have to take a hard look at the damage and decide if I can straighten it or start a junkyard crawl .

What’s your timetable on this , JC

Mad at myself for not harvesting the subframe on Clark.

I do have the 2000 donor and will be engine pulling soon. After that, subframe is easy. Would need a frame to drag car away of course but could use bent one

Stuck in DC for most of the week, once back on the shores of the mighty Nanticoke, I'll spend a little shop time seeing if it can be salvaged by brute force. It's the Fiscal Responsibility approach. I should know more next weekend.

Technically bmw content but last week I wrestled for 30 minutes, cussing , with a screwdriver and shim trying to pop a diff seal on an E83.

Broke down and ordered the $15 seal puller from CTA

5 seconds with right tool…..Thwop…

Those seal pullers are very handy. I have the HF version, basically the same thing.

I also have this Lisle one. It works great for cam seals, crank seals, etc. EVERYONE needs to have one of these!

Changed my nasty cabin filter yesterday. This would explain the brief nasty smell after turning on my AC the other day.

That's always a tough day. Sorry about your pup abscate. At least the final gift we can offer our faithful companions is an end to their pain and a permanent place in our hearts.
