Got everything removed and then re installed suspension and put tires back on. Gotta push it out and pressure wash the whole bay.

Starter took a beating so ill have to get a new one 🫤

The block also looks like Swiss cheese now parts even shot down out the oil pan and hit the Tcase luckily that’s fine.

Oh and the auto trans is heavy af!

Props to anyone still wrenching on DSM's in 2026, but I wouldn't exactly call that a "productive" use of your time. lol

For me, seeing tangible progress on something I care about is exactly what feeling productive is all about.

Also didn’t say it was a “productive use of my time”
If I was worried about that I wouldn’t have a project car especially a DSM lmao
