I had to replace my drive belt idlers.
Your brakes, like mine, may never be right again. The rotors may need to be replaced or turned.
I was looking at Brakes as well, thinking with slotted rotors, mite as well,
and I will add everything to my parts list

Engine Mounts, yea... that's an awesome idea. I do want this to last another 100k miles, get em while I can.

Got it, added to the parts list.

Well... my parts list has grown, but I think I will still be ok,
I will be taking a trip to Titusville, PA in a week, be there for 2 weeks,
then will be back here and can start getting all the parts together for this.

It has been too long being without my car, it will be glad to get her going again....

Now, if I can find someone that will give me a good price on paint
