Darla needs:
- New headliner - New tires - Passenger side microswitch - New interior (ideally...my seat has ripped )- A good wash and wax. A detail if I end up being able to afford it someday... Hopefully can get the tires done soon. Wanted to in the next week but the hubby is going away for work. So hopefully in 2 weeks. Headliner hopefully soon too. Microswitch will probably be in the fall. Bath hopefully this weekend!

what doesn't?
![]() right now, pressing stuff includes: - install new ac compressor - get another set of non-cupped tires and spare rims so I can get ATP classics stripped and powdercoated -replace exhaust -replace grille or get other (Mini Cooper?) fog lights and mount differently- less vulnerably? -replace windshield - fix and paint all body panels (eventually) - replace door and quarter cards/panels a few hundred other things- most of it I have the parts, just not the time. Maybe in cooler weather. Felix will be 12 yrs old in August and probably close to 300k ('fail odometer' reads 235k but is something like 270-280 in reality?)

Rear shocks
Starter (making noise, but starts fine) 2 tires mirror switch (broke off years ago even though I used it about 3 times before it just fell off) center console (Latch has broken several times) New gas cap...O ring messed up and causing check engine to go on. I already did water pump, timing belt,front struts, 2 tires recently due to totally messed up struts, had new cat converter (warranty) new shift boot, new seat covers (had a few holes) Lots of other more minor stuff done, it was a never ending thing, but recently, not so bad. It is weird, after I hit 100K nothing has gone wrong. I bought the car new in AZ 9 years ago. I am sure that since I said this, something will go wrong any day now LOL |
