"Not bad for $1500.00 CAN"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The first thing that went wrong is the gas tank at 131000 km. Repair cost $100.

Next was the automatic seat belt at 131000km. Repair cost $40.

Next was synchro rings in the transmission. Not fixed yet, too much $. 132000km.

Timing belt at 133000km, $100.

Engine belt at 133001km, $35.

New exhaust at 133002km, $200.

And the latest thing to go wrong is the head lights. They turn off when you use the blinkers. At 152000km. Not fixed.

General comments?

The car has been good till now and I'll fix it. I'm going to add a 20 psi turbo to it for $5000 Can. to rebuild the motor and custom fabricate the needed parts to attach the turbo to it.

p.s. $5000 CDN not US. It will give it 300 or so horsepower. If not fast enough, I'll go with 2 turbos.
