Year: 1997
Mileage: 94,800
Time Owned: 27 months

Repairs (all repairs feel major on this car due to the expense!):

• Horn pad replacement (I did this on my 4 spoke before I upgraded to a 3 spoke)
• Second key made (listed due to the $%&# expense!)
• New instrument cluster (old one had an LED out on the speedo area)
• Transmission swapped out for a lower mileage one due to a 1st Gear "braaaaap"
• New Sachs clutch
• Brake pads.
• Front lower control arm (driver's side) replacement (Now done TWICE)
• Fuel Sending Unit Replacement
• Rear struts replaced (one was bent from previous owner's stupid driving)
• Ignition switch replacement.
• Driver's side radiator fan replacement
• Oddments tray hinge replacement
• Oxygen Sensors (all four, of course)
• Seat belt receptacles, both sides.
• Radiator coolant tank resoivor replacement - plus the cap.
• Passenger's side window regulator.
• Top mechanism dash switch.

Now I am listening and watching for the next big repair... tracking arms. They tend to go out around 100k.
