Yay the engine harness is dated 1999.
Tell me they were non-degrading replacements by then lol...

Less-yay, whatever this poor fellow ran over, the passenger wheel is an inch or so aft of where I think it should be. Wonder if it bent the control arm or something more dramatic.

There is a line item on the invoice for the oil pan/pump replacemnt for "frame shop $500" and I can see where they tied the body down in the rear to pull on something. Part of the challenge is I don't know exactly what's been done, I know some of it from receipts like the oil pan and cylinder head, but there are about two years of receipts (apparently including the engine harness replacement) missing. I suppose I'll get it on the lift and try to pull some measurements here and there and determine if it's obviously the control arm or otherwise. If otherwise I guess it's frame shop time again. Surely on a car this stout a wheel can be pulled back forward a bit.

My significant other hasn't killed me yet too which is a win.
