I helped a young guy score on a '98 S70 GLT today. It's black with tan interior. Here is a list of what I think it needs...

• Timing belt.
• 2 tires.
• Front seats torn.
• AC line replaced.
• AC serviced.
• Trunk struts.
• Front pass door lock.
• Coolant tank cap.
• Bad tint.
• Bad door panels.

Here is the good:

• T5 wheels.
• PCV not smoking.
• Good rotors.
• Good strut mounts / spring seats.
• Very tight motor, no leaks or smoke anywhere.
• NO CEL, ABS. or SRS lights.

Drum rool please............. $400.

 

Nice. . . . .

 

Better accessment of the condition:

• AC line replaced and serviced.
• Needs new front struts. Right one is bad (bouncy) and the left is blown.
• Cabin filter deteriorated. Replaced.
• Needs timing belt, water pump NOT leaking.
• Left trunk strut missing.
• Something loose near right rear wheel.
• Need front ball joints, control arms.
• Right head light out. Bulb replaced.
• Coolant res cap cracked. Replaced.
• Tires replaced.
• Drivers door speaker blown. Replaced.
• CD player will not play cd's.
• Sunroof leaking.
• Radiator patched at bottom.
• Needs tune up kit. Spark plug wires original.
• My guess is that the front motor mount is blown.
• Right CV axle is bad.
• Windows were double tinted, who does that?
• Only 1 key.
• No remotoes.
• Headliner sagging.
• Right rear tail light cracked.
• Armrest fabric coming loose.
• Air guide missing.

* Repaired/Replaced means already done and working.

 

Today we did the following on the car:

• Replaced the passenger side CV axle with one from the JY.
• Replaced the passenger side control arm with one from the JY.
• Replaced the cluster with one that has a trip computer, JY.
• Replaced the drivers side door latch.
• Tried to install a trunk lift from an 850, did not fit.
• Installed fog lights but they do not work.
• Secured the rear sway bar link. It was loose and sounded like a cow bell.
• Replaced the stereo head unit with a surprem system, SC-816.
• Replaced the shifter.
• Replaced the ignition but it didn't work.

 

A little more progress on the car. Last night we did the following:

• Replaced the spark plug wires.
• Pulled plugs and cleaned and regapped them. They were at .034+

The owner did not hook up the turbo inlet tube good and it poped off about 5 miles later. He called me to let me know the car was stalling and he had to leave it about 1-1/2 miles from home. I knew what he did and took him to go pick it up. Good to go now. Running a lot stronger.

 

must be nice to have a person close that knows how to work on these cars.

 

not only "knows" but is enthusiastic and helpful like that.

much respect
