So the Cobra had a set of aftermarket headlights on it for the past 5-6 years. I know this has nothing to do with the title but I'll get to that. Anyways, the other day I noticed that one of the plastic covers had fallen off. So I called up GTR and then picked up a new pair of the same ones I had bought from them before.

Last night I installed the new headlights. After adjusting them I decided to fix the rattle in the exhaust because I thought that it had come loose enough to have moved a little. I loosened up all the bolts and then put a jack under the X-pipe to hold it up where I wanted it. When I started lifting it I noticed that the transmission started to lift. When I checked the rear mount it was missing the bolts that mount it to the trans. Only the one that holds it to the crossmember was still there. I had two bolts that fit so I re-aligned everything and bolted it back up.

The moral of the story is to check bolts and nuts every once in a while because they do come loose.
