I had a rear wheel bearing go out on me this week while I was in Portland. I took the car to MBI Motors because I have heard good things about them on this site and some of the few records I got with the car indicated it had been there before. I'm very impressed with their work - They got the rear wheel bearing and rear brakes done on short notice the day I brought it in. So, the title does NOT refer to MBI.

When I mentioned the car had been there before, they asked if I wanted the service records. It didn't take long to answer that question and my suspicions were verified.

The last service they did was in 2006 and the mileage read 378,186. It was sold to the guy I bought it from in 2006 and driven until October of 2009 when I bought it and the odometer read 224,750. Hmmmm.

The other thing I found out though is that the short block was replaced and the head was overhauled to the tune of $10,887 in 1999. That's the good part.

Next up is a front end rebuild (Just got the parts-Thanks Phil) and motor mounts.
