Nothing major but rear tail light assembly replacement was a little trickier than I thought. Got the like new part shipped to me for $105. Would have liked to search the parts yard for a better deal but don't have the time so in my book was more than fair. Really wasn't all that bad but some of the interior trim really gave me a fight (D panel). Anyway V70 is back to %100 after about an hour of fiddling in the dark. Here was the damaged part; !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Removing trim always makes me nervous, "Either I missed a hidden screw or this clip is just stubborn, Fuck it lets find out"

That's the reason I like working on our Subarus. Two 10 mm bolts to remove, and the entire tail light assembly comes off. No need to pull off any trim pieces. It's quite easy, as the stock photo implies.

It's good to hear that you got everything figured out.

You have very pretty fingernail polish.

Those aren't my nails, but I'll take the compliment anyway.

I knew they weren't. I was trying to make a funny.
