I have the little car back on the road, and I'm liking it more and more.

So far I've put four new tires on it, Bilstein shocks, changed out those rear brake hoses, and replaced the front calipers and brake pads. I've also changed out starter and battery and alternator. It had a Motorola alternator, changed it to the Bosch style.

It's up to about 130,500 miles now. It'll soon be time for an oil change. I definitely need to check the glow plugs soon-ish. It has to turn over several revolutions before it starts, and the temp is in the 50s or 60s. I won't be surprised to find that one or two are bad.
