Maintenance weekend
Well, 2 months into ownership, and I get hit with the dreaded AC Resistor replacement. Unfortunately, the local dealership wants 10 hours of labor to fix it, so I will be having to perform this surgery myself. If anyone is interested in joining this party in south-east aurora, feel free to PM me. We will have the grill going in the afternoon. I have printed out all the instructions I can find, but if anyone has any other words of advice, I will take all I can get. Luckily I have saturday and sunday off, which should hopefully give me enough time to get this figured out.

Well, I got out of work a little early today, so I was able to get started. I have the car lifted up to make it a little easier to work on. I just about have the clam ready for removal. Just have the front bolts in the headlights. So far, so good. Will try to post some pics tomorrow.

Success! I spent about 13 hours this weekend working on it, although if I had to do it again, I could probably do it in half the time. I tried to take my time, paying attention to how things went together before I took them apart, taking some photos along the way. While reassembling, I was able to improve on the panel gaps slightly also. Took the time to change the oil while I was at it. Now she should be good for a while.
Thanks to those that PMd me to offer help.

Good to hear you got that worked out, Rich. I'm curious to see the pictures when you get a chance.
