Part of the AIR system is unhooked, you can see the nipple right under the cowl, I'm guessing that's what those parts are. And the positive terminal cover is hanging off that ground wire.

Edit: I just realized those AIR tubes are not even connected to the manifolds.

Did it have a strut tower brace when it went to the shop or was that already off?

all it went to them for was diagnostics. but he got charged for new manifold gasket, cam and crank sensors, and a new reprogrammed ECU. His STB, old ECU, and that hose were in the front seat. just looks to me like a half ass job all together since they left soo much unhooked, yet charged him for ALL the work.

The shop probly expected to finish the job and I figure your brother probly left them hanging on $$ for awhile?

Obviously the shop tried but had no clue. I have no idea why you would even bring it to a place like that when you know I'm here. Would be driving it right now instead of looking at a mess... LOL
