Seventeen quarts of oil.

Four gallons of coolant.

8 new spark plugs.

New cap and rotor.

IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

 

Good proof that the limited slip differential is working.

Bringing Frankenbenz home for the first time. Will need a bath, and a whole lot of Griot's Garage

products to get the shine in the paint back.

Broken taillight replaced...

Replacing the broken turn signal switch.

Replacement of the rear deck carpeting.

Replacement of the rear seats...

A few days after bringing Frankenbenz home one of the belts broke while driving. It turned out later to

be the belt driving the auxiliary transmission pump. It in turn dislodged two other belts, so the fun was

over for that day.

A week later it happened again, so the auxiliary pump belt was just removed, since this pump isn't even installed in euro-spec

models or places with moderate climates. There have been no belt issues since, and the car has performed great.
