Made a rudimentary skid plate thing, Also cleaned and resealed the sump, the rear main seal plate/seal, and oil pan. Both had caked on oil that was potentially older than I am.(and since theres no more preview I will fill the entire headline space with all the words until kinja breaks or my patience does)

It’s not the cleanest since I whipped it up over the course of 2 hours with mostly an angle grinder and a hammer. The main purpose is to mitigate damage to the oilpan, the pan had a couple dents that were nearly punctures and I’m a tad paranoid since the cars lowered. The plate is fairly thin but my thoughts were that it should spread the load better during a hit with the steel band ,”frame” behind it. The 4 tabs and 2 forward facing bands contact the oilpan directly, the rest is about a quarter inch of open space.

S econdly it is much flatter.

Got my oppo sticker mounted, this time in gold!

Here’s how the sump looked before.

I'll have you know that the preview 'feature' still works on my phone...

It's selective. I've got the bad mode on my phone now, but I still have the good editing mode
