The owner of the last 14 years (a sheila in her 70s) put two new tyres on the car just before I picked it up on the outskirts of Sydney at Narellan.
I have done the clay bar and waxed the car. The first picture of this thread was taken before that, so it is in really good nick.
I had my mechanic go over it....
1) Will need full transmission flush. Oil is really dirty, he showed me a sample. I will get it done in Wagga about 100kms away. A service is $175, a service and flush is $275. Getting it done next Friday. The transmission works OK.
2) Both boots on the steering rack are damaged and need replacing.
3) Brake pads and discs on the front will need replacing soon
4) Only leak was from the transmission sump.
That's it!
Stuff I need to organise...
1) A couple of small dents on the bonnet need repair. I phoned a bloke in Wagga and I hope to get it done on Friday as well.
2) The stereo lacks clarity in the front. The head unit has been overhauled, so first off I'll try new tweeters in the A pillar, and new speakers in the front doors.
And finally, there is no Sportsman decal on the driver's door (gasp!)
