Need advice on this bricks fate. (mindless ramblings ahead) 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Ringlee on  Wed Aug 4 06:55 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Many of those are normal items: once done, the car will last forever.

If you fix this, do yourself a favor and change all coolant hoses and the radiator.

Use Redline in the tranny for long life and no wear. Once the pinion seal is renewed, use Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear oil in the rear end for similar results. Change the engine rear seal when you do the clutch. And use a rebuilt rack, not a new or DIY rebuild.

Most cars need major work at 100k miles. Those that don't get it are the ones dying sooner, not later.
