    Nice ride mate! That thing is super clean! If I were you I would keep it looking fresh and stock like that. Maybe get a front lip protector or a roof rack and call it good.

    Thanks Blither,

    I am willing to keep that babe as stock. Have some minor leaks on engine, power steering hose. These are easy to solve.
    The only problem is the Cruise Control.
    We will see soon.

    Thanks.

    Actually I really do not know where to share my pics or problems actually.


    I have removed top cover to make valve clearence adjustment. There was no sludge, it was good to see.
    A little bit varnish contamination had been occured but it is not big deal.

    The biggest problem is the leaking PS hose.
    It leaks on exh manifodl directly and it is dangerous.
    This car has never been imported to Turkey so I will have to make a custom fit hose on a hydraulic workshop.
    I think I can open a thread for this.

    Thanks,
    Febr

    great looking car.

    the hose here stateside is available if you think shipping is ok.

    its common for it to leak there from heat.

    I found SunSong (Chinese) sent by Amazon internationally and got it.
    Changed it with fluid. Hope to never have this problem again.

    Thanks for info.
