Got some stuff done again: Started with the removal of the tierod-end links. one worked fine, the other one destroyed my splitting-tool. ok, have to find another solution 😛 removed those side-skid panels within the fender-housings: and out they are. one seems to have a custom-made rubber extension 🙂 also removed those water-drip hoses inside the car: both out: and while working i found an old wrench inside the space where the wiper motor usually sits. someone must be missing this one for ages 🙂
