    Mileage is exactly 100K miles less then the SL

    so 145K
    Sounds like a plan, mileage isn't too bad for for it's age ether.

    That's certainly not bad, mileage-wise. So I expect to see this at the Dells come May...

    Can't imagine why MMC would have still been using them, but there you are.

    Well found a bunch of vacuum leaks today, and repaired them. But still have a big one at the rear turbo.

    Also found a short in the wiring harness...car randomly started miss firing and I tracked it down to a dead injector, which later ended up me jiggliying the wiring harness and it kicked back on. So I'll have to rewire the harness.

    Then radiator fans kicked on and punched a hole in the radiator and spilled coolant everywhere XD I planned on replacing the radiator anyways.

    However before that I took it out and drove it a little bit... AWD is fun

    Your rear ic o-ring is probably leaking. That's always a big one.

    Never going to stop working on this... couple things

    Big thing is I called around today and a set up a appointment to get a quote on straightening the frame. Guy is going to come out to my house and look at it and everything for me in the Morning. He said rates are 70$ an hour and also said what I described of the damaged and if I took most of the parts off the damaged area like I said I would then it will be pretty cheap.

    Pulled Radiator and Fans... it was not pretty...

    I sware I pulled it out like this.



    Radiator looks pretty nasty Glad I was planning on replacing it anyways
