My guy's got equipment that will make that key from that pic. I think he might need the VIN too doe, if electronic anti-theft, but be careful anyways.

interesting - cause the vin appears in the auction - the key can be generated just from the vin too.

The second key and the valet key were in the trunk.
That was a bonus. I was expecting one key - cause may as well keep expectations low.

I went to check the second key to make sure it works, lock/unlock gtg.
starts car, check!
remove key, and i'm sitting there with the fob in my hand, and the blade in the ignition.

someone must have lost a part when they changed the battery. The replacement 2 button shell on amazon was $30.
a 3 button shell, same shape/design was $9. Coming on friday.

UPGRADE!

Yes, we have our first upgrade!

Don't get too excited.
Coolant cap, original incarnation can fail and leak all over everything.
Looked like it may have already been leaking a bit.
New version on right.

I cleared the water drains in the cowl - let out an inch of standing water.
that has to count for something?

Inspected the cabin filter, ordered new.
Found that the battery was not secured properly
Frunk light is out

found the motor.

Inspected the a/f, pending research
little leak at the top of the p/s pump (i think it's the ps pump??)

There's a bulkhead panel behind the seats that gives access to the belt and the accessories. No idea how much is involved to get to it on a street car though, i've only dealt with race cars

Turbocharger bypass valve ?

I'll be out there with my flashlight a bit later - would be nice to find a $5,000 hidden option (or expense)
not hopeful - it was probably the wrong car's work order.
