I know i should get the bentley, but i just got quoted and wasnt happy with the price for these repairs:

Coolant Tank Replace
Replace valve cover gaskets
Control Arm Bushings
Aux Water pump replace.

How difficult are these to do? i kno the coolant tank is pretty easy. Im only a moderately experienced wrencher.

 

not to hard as long as you take your time, and have a weekend free.

 

the control arm bushings i wouldnt advise u to do or the valve cover gaskets... if u were more experienced id say go for it. but better safe than sorry

 

a monkey can change the coolant tank

 

Im 17 and just did my valve cover and replaced my control arms not too hard. Like stated above, if you take your time its a walk in the park.

 

well the previous owner was a jackass, so this car is used to the zoo.

I dont know how anyone can let the car slip this badly, i just got the recommended repairs and it goes to the tune of:
Done:
COMPLETE rebuild drivers rear brake
replace pad and rotor on passenger side rear brake
new pads both front brakes
change oil
Change brake fluid

Need:
MAYBE replace caliper on pass. rear brake
replace coolant tank (part already ordered)
replace aux water pump
valve cover gasket replace
control arm bushing replace
slightly torn TBB
Shocks need replacing

and my personal fav.

The shifter is bent so you have to really hard jam it into 2nd or it will just go into 4th. not really sure how you would bend a shifter, but this dude managed.

but the good news is he replaced the diverter valves and the turbos are in amazing shape.

oh, the humanity....
