Pretty!!
Took both cars out for a quick drive yesterday. I noted that the SeVT had a slight vibration when turning. Pulled the passenger front wheel off and sure enough the axle nut was loose. Hoping that I don't need a new hub as I have had both loosen up in the past from time to time.

Did a bunch of stuff. Spark plugs/wires. Oil change. coolant change. water pump, wp belt & tensioner. Serpentine belt, tensioner and idler. air filter, pollen filter and fuel filter. rear stabilizer links. Front lower control arms..PIA drivers side. front brake rotors/pads. Front /rear brake hoses and fluid flush. most done due to age and low mileage. rear clunking over bumps the rear links fixed that. Bad bushing on drivers side lower arm made noise under hard acceleration did both sides, noise gone. everything else checked/looked fine should be good for another 15 years

Was doing rust touchup on my 99 Merc with Contour SVT body kit. Rustoleum spray can stopped working. Complained to RustOleum Canada Three days later $80 worth of spray cans arrived at my door NO CHARGE

Removed and repaired the drivers side door lock. Pulling on the door handle from the outside wouldn't always open the door. Removing it wasn't too bad, and I was able to repair it by straightening out the linking rod very slightly. Well worth the effort.

I call them sail panels but I'm sure there is a correct name. The bolts are on the inside of the door

When I take the bolt out its still like stuck there and I don't want to break them
With the bolts our wiggle it/move it up Abd maybe Down and it should pop out. There is a couple plastic tabs keeping it on with the bolts out.

Cleaned up the engine bay, cleaned the driver's corner of the interior, and an oil change after work. I really would like a remote filter setup to mitigate the mess.

took the side door bump stops off. i think it's called de-knauberizing *shrugs*?
