That is what can happen if your car is stolen then sits in an impound lot for 3 months and they begin to remove parts just because they are such nice people.
I think I would have put my foot in someone's A$$! After I had my vehicle in my possession of course!
Needed some lumber.
WTF! And you have to pay them to get your car back? Care to share what went down? I would go ape s***.
Huge progress in getting the H55F in. With my work schedule I get one day a month right now to work on it, but it’s well into the bolt on stage now.

replaced the horn rings and springs in my rear exhaust manifold horn. I wasn't sure it was possible but I was able to remove the last 2 manifold to head bolts and wiggle out the horn without removing the manifolds from the head. I also loosened the EGR pipe big nut at the EGR cooler and loosened the EGR cooler and pulled the EGR pipe. You can't pull the horn back with the studs from the horn still in the EGR pipe flange holes. I replaced the egr pipe to manifold gasket.
The outer ring was stuck in the compressed position. Rust scale on the walls inside the ring groove to the point that the ring was grabbing the wall. Even when I pulled the ring out and put it on a bench it moved back to the compressed position. I guess it had been there long enough that it liked being compressed. I did prepare my self with new springs and rings. The manifold to head gasket didn't tear and looked in good shape. It had been on there about a year and maybe 1K miles. I was fully prepared to have to pull the manifolds off and replace the gasket but I think I lucked out. It's all buttoned back up but I haven't started it yet. Started pouring rain as soon as I got done.

With surprisingly short life of my last O2 sensor I noticed she developed a bit of an inconsistent miss. I suspect that might have been the cause. I was warming her up to run some errands and she just died and refused to start. No spark situation. Pulled apart the HEI testing Ohms to find the ignition module shot. $66 later it purrs like a kitten. Grace is so nice to me that she broke down in the driveway. I am suspecting it might be the cause of the O2 sensor fouling so quickly. I guess ignition module has made the list of emergency spare parts I need to carry.
Ya know, I think someday I will start a thread Going thru what happened, as painful as it might be, and then I can show what it was like after recovery and now.WTF! And you have to pay them to get your car back? Care to share what went down? I would go ape s***.

Nice..I have decided that I want one of those for my 60. I really want a winch but like the OEM look and this is the most low key bumper I have found for the 60. Goal is to order one this year and install a winch. In The Woodlands by the way.
