Prying the cover off the ecbm was a real p i t a

Looks like a couple bad solder points above the relay

My soldering is a little shady
OMFG! I can't believe that worked! Traction control and abs lights are off! Heck I think I even got most the screws back in there

Considering how scary the whole job is, and finding the right screwdriver/wrench AND which screws/nuts to remove first, THEN hoping you solder it right, the amazement that the whole thing works is very satisfying, as exemplified in your statement! good job!!

^if your car starts pulling random electric crap in the future, remove all that and see it be fixed.

Save your old stuff for testing.

Drove her for the first time since owning! Also first drive after the wreck the previous owner had. Tracked 100% straight and no wobbles no shakes. But Needs sway bar end links/bushings all the way around. Prob will throw front tie rods on it as well.
For a quarter million miles...I'm happy how it drove.

No action shots. Just a couple after I got back.

You do know where the heater controls are? You’re allowed to use them even if the top is down!

That’s a brilliant idea!! Why did I missed that?!? Joke apart, heater produces warm air but has difficulty to fight against the cold air coming from the waterfall in between the seats. Maybe a technical issue, I don’t know.

Pardon my oopsie, tho’ I can see quite well you have a convertible, I was in another conversation where a prospective owner wanted to know if driving with a targa roof off was ‘unpleasant’(?) So when I wrote the above, the fact that ‘slight amount’ of air would be cascading over the waterfall didn’t enter my confused mind.
