A) holy cow, blast from the past.

B) I love how Bren is supervising while we're all working. :lol:

C) Getting together to rip someone's car apart was fun. We should figure out how to do that more often.

And JV, why didn't you powerwash the engine bay?!

Who says I haven't? :eeps:

The bumper will be fixed (by fixed, I mean replaced)

Heck, I was even there that day. I think. It's been a long time.

I remember Nick fighting those bushings.

And I will, of course, bring the official TeamWTF?! E30.

Edit: And the M3s were Alex / Terry / Bren / Terry's friend.

The rear trailing arm bushings were pretty much welded to the trailing arms. But the rubber isn't actually in terrible shape. It's definitely dried out.

Wow. You got them out with that tool? That looks like it requires hazard pay!

That's pretty much why I stopped working on cars.

When it goes as planned it's fun. Then I end up staring at two parts that are fused together and not know what the fcuk to do.

I mean, I torched the trailing arm to warm it up first. But yes, they came out with the tool pretty easily.
