Vic has finally started costing someone money... ME. I previously posted about the usual intake swap. But after that costly repair came the odor of gasoline who's source was eluding me. Long story short, I thought it was one of the recently touched coil packs that hadn't been seated correctly. Nope. Bent/rotted gas tank. I'm told it looked like something hit it and eventually it rotted in the corner. So now Vic 2.0 has a new gas tank. Taxi Guy had a hard time removing the old one because for some reason the hardware that keeps it under the car is different from later years, and it added hours to the job.
We finally got the snow tires off and now I can actually drive the car without that "winter tire drone". When the tire swap was going on, we tried to install my new Motorcraft shocks, but found out that they didn't come with the top bushing/bolts! Seeing as the old ones may need to get cut off, we aborted the mission and I ordered the bushings.
Stay tuned...
