What all have you fixed on your car?
I dont mean mods (unless they were by necessity). What all on your car has broken requiring you to replace it?
Since I drove my car home last February I've had to replace:
serpentine belt
rotors/brake pads
oil pressure sending unit
intake manifold gasket
transmission mount
starter
Seems like I've had a good run with it so far!

Re: What all have you fixed on your car?
Since I bought my GTA about 2 months ago, I've had to replace:
Heater bypass hose which was leaking coolant
Broken Header bolt
TB and thermometer gasket
Cap
Rotor
Wires; had to go through 2 sets actually
Coil
Fuel pump
Starter
Driver's side headlight assembly since my large friend sat on it and broke it hahaha!
Passenger's side headlight bulb
and thats pretty much it for now!

Re: What all have you fixed on your car?
I inherited my Camaro in mid-June, since then I've had to replace:
Exhaust system (when I got it, the pipes had 8 holes in them)
Brakes and rotors
Distributor cap
Thermostat (twice)
Radiator cap
Hatch pulldown motor gear nut
Heater core
Heater core hoses
Heater control valve
Serpentine belt
Dome light bulb
Lower radiator hose
Water pump
And one particularly rusted hose clamp that seemed to have been stock... and hanging on by a thread.

Re: What all have you fixed on your car?
Since some of these cars are 20+ years old, everyone's lists should be lengthy.

I am trying to see the historical significance of this...

Re: What all have you fixed on your car?
Ton of crap, the car sat the first 10 years and since I started driving it 4 years ago, it would be better buying a new car with the expenses for a car that could not sell for 4k now, how sad!
This will be a lesson for anyone wanting to buy a old car with low miles and etc, it would break down once you start to use it. Figure that when you consider the price.
Serp belt, alternator, rotors, calipers, brakes, brake hoses, rad, water pump, exhaust manifold, car computer ($$$$), heater, electric doors. Andy

Re: What all have you fixed on your car?
Since repairs are normal and not really a form of restoration, I don't see the historical or restoration aspects beind this thread either.
