i made a newb mistake when i bought my 2. bought standard wrenches. since buying metric, i have found you NEED 10, 12 and 14 to do just about anything on this car. i went to a junk yard and found a 2. armed with nothing but a 10 i did a ton of removing haha

This list is getting pretty complete. Only other tool I use regularly is a 5lb sledge, use it to hit your wrench, places where the breaker bar won't reach. I have also had to use a torch, some of the suspension bolts get seized pretty good. The LED headlight is dorky-looking but real useful--even if you end up setting it where it'll shine on your work.

i would suggest some u-joints....wether they are the sockets or extensions, you'll need them at some point.
