Pulled transmission to fix RMS leak. Found a pinched o-ring on the IMS housing, unclear if this was leaking or if it was RMS. Replaced both along with transmission wear items. Did not replace clutch due to low mileage since last clutch job. Also replaced AOS, bent control arms and related bushings, and installed resonated mid-pipes.


Installed Carplay/Android Auto head unit and did some reconfiguring of the center console storage. Later had to install a ground loop isolator to get rid of the alternator whine/interference.

Purchased door handle assembly to swap over 'paddle' part of lock cylinder. This broke in original accident and was never swapped over to the new door, so locking with the physical key did not work.

Replaced brake pads, rotors, and hardware on all four corners. Bled brake fluid.


Replaced o-rings for the power steering fluid reservoir and replaced the PCV vent behind the driver's seat to fix minor leaks



Reupholstered both OEM seats due to minor water damage on the driver seat cover (due to sitting in salvage yard with window broken)



Replaced door with same-color part from donor vehicle. Window regulator was also replaced, remaining door hardware was transferred over.


Purchased from Copart

Unknown collision damaged driver-side door. With the exception of a small cosmetic dent on the driver-side rocker panel, all damage was isolated to the door. Minor water damage to driver seat cover due to sitting in salvage yard with a poor door seal. Both bumper covers and driver-side head and tail lights were removed to inspect damage, but all removed parts were undamaged and left in the trunk.
