Wow, a beige car with beige paint. Can't get much boring than that, lol. I call those cars transportation appliances. I'm sure it will be reliable and deliver decent mileage at least.

it's the wife's car.... but since she doesn't drive yet I commute with it. Taking the wife to work on the bike doesn't quite work.

Bought some brake pads for the fronts and had the engine steam cleaned today. There's some leakage around the power steering pump so I had to get it clean to locate the source of the leak. Talk about tight spaces....try getting your hands down there

I've replaced front seals, rear o-rings, and the copper washers to the high pressure line on those pumps, could be any one of those lol...impact tools and extensions help with keeping your big paws out of there

IIRC, I used to remove the pump with the pulley on it, and zap the pulley off on the bench to replace the front seal...

Nice ride man!! That things looks like a sleeper!! Also, it was mentioned before but certifit has CHEAP *** prices. There is one here in San Diego if you need me to pick you up a part. Let me know, actually Lee is going down there on monday. He might pick it up for you, again they are really cheap!
