Vehicle Description

Guards Red/Black, Excellent mechanical condition with a comprehensive major service just performed. This is a nice driver quality car that has had one repaint in the original Guards Red. It comes with almost all the accessories, including the books and a fully stamped service manual, which, combined with the paper receipts, shows a maintenance and ownership trail back to new, the spare tire, jack, and complete toolkit. It is missing the factory air compressor but it does have an aftermarket unit. It also has expensive Porsche floor mats and trunk mat.
The car is fundamentally stock and original specification. We replaced the heavy forged wheels that were optional equipment with a set of factory 'phone dial' wheels, but we went with 8-inch wheels all around to give the car a little more aggressive stance and sharper handling. It still has the original Blaupunkt head unit and speakers. We installed a new center console armrest and hinge as well, to replace the almost-always-broken original one. While the car's cosmetic quality is on the driver level, given the exterior repaint and that the seats have a couple split seams which need to be corrected, we had the car completely serviced by Steinel's Autowerks when we bought it, to the tune of $6727. 

The service performed was as follows:
Perform safety check, inspect steering, suspension, brakes, tires, etc.
Original oil cooler housing seals: Remove cooler housing, replace transfer pipe, install updated O-rings and gasket. Clean and reseal pressure relief valve. Replace oil pressure sender. Replace front brake flex hoses, bleed brake and clutch systems, Replace fuel hose to/from rail. Replace 3rd brake light bulb. Replace right front inner sway bar bushing. R&R Speed and reference sensors and bracket. R&R starter, verify no binding while cranking. Replace blown fuses in board. Remove exhaust studs and manifold assemblies - located leak under heat shield for 2/3 manifold. Install good condition used manifold with heat shield. Refit exhaust and verify leak is gone.

Water Pump & Belts: Drain coolant, disassemble front of motor, inspect rollers and pulleys. Replace water pump, all belts, hoses as needed. Install new thermostat. Replace cam & balance Shaft belt. Replace noisy rollers/tensioners as needed. Fill and bleed cooling system.

Oil leak: Perform front reseal while apart. Replace crankshaft and balancer seals.

Check tuning: Replace spark plugs and plug wires, replace air filter and pop off valve. Adjust base idle. 
Service: Change oil in transmission. Adjust front wheel bearings, mount & balance new tires. Replace wiper blades. Change motor oil and filter.

A/C service: drain system, replace compressor and receiver dryer, charge system and check for leaks. 
----------
As you can see we addressed everything that this car needed - it is a fully serviced car that's ready to drive and enjoy. All power options work great, A/C blows cold, and the car drives beautifully.
