OK- in for a penny, in for a pound...I have had this car for a week. Have no business owning it- just couldn't resist. Really need to sell it and get the daughter a more suitable car, but if it's going to be with us a while until I get a new owner for it, some work needs to get started. The way I see it, here's what it needs now:
1.Timing belt, water pump, front crank seal, etc.
2.Valve covers and assorted associated seals to stop the hemorrhaging oil.
3.External trans. cooler, flush lines, change filters (trans replaced 25k ago-working just fine)
The car drives and runs beautifully-don't want to get into a whole restore job here, just keep Murphy at bay until we get it sold
My husband is a competent though extremely unwilling mechanic (fixing cars gets into his horn hunting time) and we have a nice big heated shop, but no lift, so it will probably go to a mechanic for this work.
Is this work something that can be trusted to an experienced Japanese car mechanic if he doesn't have SVX experience?
Any other must do's for now?
