Fer Sure remove the driver's seat, it makes all the difference. Two
items you might purchace: Safety glasses! Degraded foam, dirt, and all
sorts of stuff is going to fall into your face. And a "headlight" a
miner's type light on elastics. When I worked under there I had a set
of those twin penlights on a glasses-like frame (Like in the DEVO video
from the pleistocene age). It's easier than having a trouble-light next
to your head, or a maglite in your mouth.
