amb#cog; Thanks! Mine holds up great. Sure it's low mileage, but look how old it is. The stuff the wears are plastic and rubber which can't hold up to the dry rot (CV boots, tie rod boots, etc.).
As for "front end", other that the boots tearing up (ALWAYS use quality replacement boots like Napa!) the struts HAVE been replaced, but they were replaced with Bilstiens. Other than that, the front end has held up nicely. None of the front end parts needed replacing, just NEW BOOTS!
I believe I could have my ear talked off. A numer of people have dropped by with the old Water Cooleds to shoot the sheet and I'll just stand out there getting eaten by mosquitoes talking along with them.
We were thinking about having out own "BBQ".
I've got a big backyayd.
