Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Pinched a wire or harness, how screwed am I?

Got all 3 bolts in along with the mount, but now I'm having one hell of a time lowering the mount down into the holes on the subframe.
 


Got it. Gave up on the floor jack due to it pulling the engine forward or moving it back towards the firewall. Broke the scissor jack out of the trunk and with it and a prybar I'm back in business.
 
I replaced a bunch of stuff today (struts, tie rods, etc) and noticed a bulge in the subframe directly under the poly mount. It isn't bent but it sure looks like the rounded bottom of the mount has distorted the metal on the subframe.

Anything I need to be concerned with?
 
Looks like the buldge was caused by the deepwell 10mm socket I dropped in the cutout for the motor mount. I dropped a bolt behind the balancer and used the extension and 10mm to push it out and the socket fell off.

It rolled all the way to the rear of the subframe not currently sits wedged between the lower mount but and the subframe itself. Probably doesn't help that I used a 3ft breaker bar to tighten the nuts as tight as humanly possible.
 


I got a closer look at the bulge today and I’m a bit proud to be honest. The shape indicates the subframe was bent from launching, not the socket. I’ve got pics but the mobile site doesn’t have an imbed option.
