Since I started my new job 4 mos ago I have logged on an average of 350 miles per week on my monty. I'm at 186,500 and counting.
Besides burning some oil like I mentioned in a previous post, I have kept up on the routine stuff, she wears new belts, plugs, wires, fuel pump. I want to change out the manual gearbox oil soon, as I don't know its age.
When I bought this monty back in June I did not anticipate driving her as much as I do. 6,500 miles later I still love every time I start her up and go. Shes not fast so I have no desire to race anybody like I used to feel when I had my mustangs. She gets looks, but I think they are more of "what the heck is that" then actual admiration. She probably isn't worth much, I don't see them selling for much, I paid 2k for it from a mechanic at a local import shop and he showed me pics of the motor out and said its been rebuilt.
I would love to put some updated rims on her, perhaps build up her stance a bit. But that's it cosmetically, well, maybe tint. Front brakes are next.
Can you tell I'm in love here ? Not the prettiest girl on the block, but hasn't let me down yet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif" alt="" />
