Default not happy

well i think its as good as done looks like to keep my dad happy i will have to give him the brock in a few months and go back to my au wagon. If this happens I will be shattered but oh well lately thats the story of my life. The brock has a few small issues thet aint too big but require money to be thrown at it which if i have to give it up i am hesitant to do. with everything thats gone on lately losing the car will be like losing a good friend.

all the old girl needs is to fix a leak in the power steering piping , steering rack and fix a weeping timing case seal and give it a tune up all of which i can do myself but time isnt my friend these days and so i may be forced to book it in to the mechanics.

power steer piping should be easy enough, buy good bits from a wrecker. Steering rack is a pain in the **** job, and for a new one is pricey

timing case seal = silastic.
