[MBZ] Today's Fun

After scraping the hood down for the future hood pad installation, I began to do the thermostat swap. Despite Curly’s warnings about it being tight, it was really easy to get to from below. The bottom bolt came right out with minimal effort and the top bolt was actually easier to break loose
