Nice day so I thought I would install the scatter shield from latemodel21, no problem I thought except I knocked of the clip that holds the rad hose against the oil cooler. It flew off and I spent 5 minutes looking for it under the hood as I heard it hit the belly pan, no luck. So I figured I could make the install easier and the clip easier to find if I took the fan assembly out.

I installed the scatter shield no problem then went on to spend 1/2 an hour looking for the clip under the hood after checking it had not fell through to the floor, no luck so I gave up. I was cleaning the fan assembly a little and half a clip fell from it onto the floor, where it had lodged I did not know as it had stayed put when removing the assembly from the car. I looked in front of the car where I had been standing and there was the other half of the clip. I did find an access door to a fog light open and slightly damaged, I'll tape those suckers down before they're lost.

I am now epoxying the clip together with Gorilla glue, fiber glass and resin.

A five minute job turned into a big headache.

Next up the flashing high mounted stop light.
