It's Been a Rough Month for Auto Maintenance - Page 2

I second that (bad month for auto maintenance). Just got the car back from major and very expensive service to have the main fuel pump fail, just as I got home. Back to the dealer, another £450, thanks very much. I'm down about £2k.
On the other hand, the Landrover's annual check up cost me £150 and half a dozen of our free range eggs!
Too many toys, that's my problem.

I moved to Harbor City, so it's not far at all.

I'm about 20 mins from LAX airport.

I'll PM you my Phone #...

I know the feeling...

I've got a '67 Le Mans at my brother's house that needs a carb re-build, 3 T20 Tiger Cubs (including a matching numbers 1955) that need complete restoration, a 1958 Oldsmobile that needs to have the frame removed and a rotisserie put on the body and an 85 RX-7 that I plan to use for SCCA racing that isn't hitting on 1 rotor...

...too many projects!
