Shallow dent on passenger door from me vs. a carport post. Aero wing is cracked in 2 places. Taillights are starting to show their age. Missing one center cap.
The factory AC compressor locked up so I have replaced it with a new one from GM along with a new orifice tube and I charged it with R12. It leaked out after 3 weeks and I tracked it to a bad o-ring on the receiver/dryer. I was going to replace the receiver/dryer but haven't had the chance yet.

Pretty much a full complete tune-up including pulling the entire intake for cleaning and replacing the gaskets too. Also went from using Royal Purple since 75K miles to Redline. I've also just run Auto-RX through it. Compression on all cylinders is just like new, valves seals are good too. No smoke at all on start-up. It just smoged 7 months ago.
