At that point I did:
- 4w Brake job
- All fluids changed
- VC gasket
- Plugs, wires, drive belts
- Rear wheel bearings
- Alternator
- Ignition switch
This time I decided to be more thorough and do some much needed maintenance:
- Timing belts, idlers, seals, water pump
- Re-capped the ECU
- Drive shaft U-Joints
- Cleaned the intake and intercooler
- Exhaust manifold gasket, bolts and flange gasket
- Went through the entire fuel system
- Cleaned, greased and re-sprung the door latches
- Installed a newer OEM door handle and lock
- Cleaned out all of the drain tubes
