    Yeah I'm gonna keep it this color. Is it normal that when the car is on jackstands the driver and passenger doors can't open?

      How I left her tonight. Pretty unproductive day, got her lifted and drained the coolant from the radiator. I had to stop for the night because I don't have enough bottles/juggs/containers to hold all the coolant.

          Finally got the more bottles and was able to drain the rest of the coolant from the block. The bolt that I took off seems like it's broken or something?





          It didn't seem like it was leaking or aynthing, but is it best to fix that and get a new one while I'm in there?

            Drain plugs are that small. You wouldn't want a long random bolt in the side of your block for no reason.

                My drivers wont open when I put it on jacks. A Unibody chassis, like our cars, allow for more flexing, its normal.

                    So my car makes a grinding noise when I start it. I sounds like the teeth of the starter grinding, what are the odds that just replacing the starter would solve that issue, or could it be the pinion gear (I think that's what I mean)?
