Well Now It starts.

After a lot of thinking, discussions with the other half I have come to the conclusion that I will be fixing my sdl. So I will be returning for encouragement a couple of times aweek when i get frustrated.

First order of buisness how do I remove the headlight trim? I recieved the new ones today from phil and for the life of me cant get the old ones to budge.

I already swapped out the grill with the spare I had so that is one less thing to do. After the rest of the snow melts the fun of pulling the rad.
Will post pics as I get thing done.

I got the new headlight trim today. is there a trick to getting to the screw? I am thinking that i need to pull the entire assembly out or at least pull the side/turn sgnal out. How does that come out with out breaking thanks

Got the new light trims on along with the new grill. It looks like it was never hit. Now about the radiator....

Looks like you solved the problem of removing the old head light trim.

Getting it off was kind of easier than putting the new in. The old ones were original and all cracked. I managed to break a tab on the passenger side turn signal so looking for one of those.

It passed the PA enhanced inspection on Friday so now I can get legal today. Wound up replacing radiator,all hoses(not bad but I was in the neighborhood) new coolant,serp belt and belt idler. The aux fan will wait for a couple more weeks.
