In taking apart a lot of the car to get everything fixed that needed fixing I ran into a few things so far. Thought maybe it could become a bigger thread of what everyone else found that the bonehead before you did to the car.
I didn't take any pictures of a lot of the things I've come across like the 2lbs of RTV holding the driver side dash together, or the spliced wire harness to the the trunk locking pump that were touching ground popping fuses like crazy, but here's a good one.
Appears to be a bilge pump (not a Johnson CM30) just hanging unsecured into the gasket/retainer for the old bosch pump, positive post was bent to heck with only a butt connector on the posts, it has 5/8 Inlet/outlet so the brainiac added some 5/8 hose, a coupler to the 3/4 hose and 6 hose clamps. How it survived the drive from Florida to Texas or the 1000 miles I put on the car since, I have no idea.

The pump is for the Intercooler on the supercharger. Great plumbing job. The pump you must have is a Bosch pump on which the last numbers to the part number is 010 and not 003 which fails all the time.

Yep, a new 010 is coming from Rob with the pigtail repair kit tomorrow. Hoping the plumbing job comment is sarcasm lol.
Wouldn't have likely come across it with the bumper still on, but was swapping out the intercooler with the Needswings one, PSK and the intercooler isolation kit.
What was the previous owner thinking?
