(apparently there was a front end collision of some sort by a previous owner) So, in the last two months,
New Tranny... $2900
New Valve Cover Gaskets... 200
New High Pressure Steering Hose... 180
Auto Body Tweaking... 80
New Rear Tires... 250
New College Textbooks... 300
Total Strife... $4110


Tell me again how I'm supposed to pay for both tuition AND this car???
Well, there was one guy on the Yahoo board who was making an extra 3K each weekend ------- stripping, in Reno.

3K??? I'm open to new ideas, unfortunatley, my aund and uncle live in Reno and eventhough they'd let me stay at their house, the SVX probably wouldn't like all those miles from the commute every weekend. Of course, with an extra 3K every weekend I guess I could afford plane tickets...

I don't have experience with the PS hose, but the passenger side valve cover gasket definitely isn't hard to remove. So I guess it depends on which side is leaking.
