I know man. I feel you. It's a little rough at times. It's the price for having such a sexy and pretty rare car.

Yeah prices seem to go higher and higher for our cars. You think 350 is bad, wait until you tackle doing the rear end. I need to do it soon and your easily going to be in the 500 range without the pillowballs, thats just bushings.

I was just about to post about injector rehab but you beat me to it. Great guys to work with and super easy transaction. Very reasonably priced and quality work, they even send a chart of before and after flow testing and to boot replace all parts including o-rings, pintle caps, and filters. Great great customer service and good turn around time.

I get however needing to have the goods "today" which is never fun on anyones wallet. But yeah, get used to spending your paychecks on your "baby" haha. First thing I learned when I bought mine was "Don't go into this with the broke *** FC owner mentality."

The little stuff on this car can really cost. Not hard to walk out of the parts dept. with $300 is gaskets in o-rings, but the whole roof is $170.
