Sam, come on! You should have removed the plugs in the spare tire area. I gutted my entire trunk and cleaned it like you did, but I went at it with a hose on full blast. :laugh:

The water just drains right out of the floor and then just wipe up the remaining water with a towel.
 
You are not worthy!

You are not worthy!

While you have the engine out you really should lay some paint over that crap they have under the hood. I know Allen got the supports and around the engine painted gloss like the car and holy ???? did it look great at shows.

If I ever have to have the engine taken out of the svt I will have it totally stripped and all glossed body color.

I will not put the new owner's life in danger by doing that. If they want it switched around they can do it themselves.

I already have the car for sale @ 6000 firm. Im not about to go spending money on it and have to increase the sale price. I know what you mean though. I would definately do it on my car if I had to.
 
It may but it also may come loose and if it does the pin will fall out and making the control arm become unattached to the car causing serious problems. You never know. besides the control arms are fine should last a long time.
