Dual snorkel air intake

Recently swapped on the McGard "black chrome" lug nuts. They look vastly better than the factory ones (many of which were looking pretty nasty).

Another topless shot

Things in the box'o'parts (that have not yet been installed) include: New convertible top, RapidFire plugs, Goodyear Hi-Miler hoses, Russell braided stainless brake hoses and SpeedBleeders, a STB (Strut Tower Brace) made by a man named George P. Lara, and normal maintenance things like new belts, cap, rotor, spark plug wires...

Fixes and Maintenance:

No major maintenance items are needed at the moment. A/C needs to be recharged, but that's not a big deal - after all, it IS a convertible! ;-) Recently had the starter and fuel pump replaced, plus replaced the driver seat recliner mechanism.

List of maintenance and fixes since I purchased the car from the original owner back in July 1997. Most recent items were the Starter and Fuel Pump. Before that the most recent item was the Brake rotors and pads.

|| A/C system check and recharge | Air filter | Alternator | Battery | Brake rotors and pads | Front Ball Joints | Fuel filter (in-carb) | Fuel pump | Headlamps, Low-beam | Heater core | Heater valve | Hood lift supports (will need another set soon) | Oil & Oil filter | PCV valve and filter | Power antenna | Rear end fluid | Shocks & struts | Starter | Taillight bulbs | Tires | Under-hood bulb | Windshield washer pump | Windshield wiper blades ||

Items indicated [XYZ] are factory option codes.
