My toolkit is incomplete at best. The open-end wrenches are there, I have an offset hex key and a spark plug tool that seems to be from an E30 325 or 318. I installed the new plugs, cap and rotor and it is running better than before. I didn't notice any problems, but when I took the cap and rotor off, both were badly burned and pitted. And the #1 plug connector basically disentegrated when I pulled on it. I had to fish the rest out of the connector from the hole with a needle-nose. While I was in there getting greasy I decided to also go ahead and replace my alternator bushings as well. That is a whole other debacle altogether! (Hint - do *not* use the red urethane bushings).

I was thinking of making a custom tool tray to replace the stock one and populating it with SnapOn :^) Has anyone else done a similar project? Sure sounds like a neat idea.
