Default Cracked Oil pan replaced, lifted the car back up a little. what a day! (lots of pics)

so today i work up late, had to deal with traffic getting onto base cause of the air show but oh well.

as a few of you know i cracked my oil pan on the way to NOPI. didnt even make it out of the state, but here it is.

Thanks to Sam (turbo sam) for sending me his spare ASAP so i could get back on the road.

1 - remove ghetto riged header which caused the hole


2 - remove oil pan and inspect, notice the spidering and major cracks


3 - look at the crank while you got the chance... isnt she pretty



4 - install New used oil pan



now onto the suspension

got it all removed and reinstalled in 1 hour w00t!

STOCK

Dropped 2 inches (way too much)

raised 3/4 of an inch (current height)


and then here are the various pics from today that im going to sneek in







me after 6 hours of working on the car

Yeah, it makes the little stuff seem like a breeze

Nice pics, you work at a dealership?

I like the pic in your avatar especially,
the reflection of the street light makes the paint
look almost an orangeish (sp ) color
