Here it is, 560 84K, probably not much different than yours...but I sure did a lot, on a "drive anywhere" creampuff...

Tune-up (rotor,cap,wires,plugs,air filter/smog pump filter,fuel filter,P/S Filter)
All 4 Brakes Redone/Replaced (ALL pads,rotors,sensors, calipers)
Fluids (brake,radiator (flushed),P/S,oil-synthetic blend)
New OEM floor mats
Much Rubber (trunk seal, top cover seal, F/R soft top, F/R hard top,soft and hard top/window seals, top cowl pads,antenna gasket)
Hood Pad + Rear Hood Pad
Polished air filter
New speakers (front-Rockford/Fosgate, rear-Blaupunkt)
Blaupunkt Monte Carlo Stereo (MP3 player)
Center Console Wood sent out/redone
Hard Top Headliner/plastic Redyed
Instrument Pod Cleaned/relamped/Needles Painted
Temp. sensor replaced
4 Bilstein "comfort" shocks, steering shock (Boge)
5 wheels refinished/replaced (curb rash issue), Laurel center caps, chrome bolt caps
Paint touched up (properly, airbrushed/basecoat/clearcoat)
Top cleaned/treated (Porche chemicals)
First Aid Kit/Bracket (new OEM, were missing)
Infamous HVAC center vacuum actuator rebuilt, 2 others rebuilt

I did all of the work myself because the only mechanic I'd trust within 50 miles of here won't work on "foreign" cars. This is the first foreign car I've worked on and, with a manual available, I didn't find it significantly more difficult (so far...knock on wood) than an Oldsmobile. In some ways, it's quality design can make things actually easier.

I hope to get new Kumhos and a windscreen this summer, and plan to do the First Gear module this winter and also redo the seats. This is going to be a "summer only" car, and I've "budgeted" myself 6000 miles per year.

I'm willing to spend or budget some real money on this car, because I intend to keep it at least 20 years or until I drop dead, whichever comes first!
