^^^^ never had a chance to get that done so yesterday I replaced it with new Valeo unit. 

I also replaced both radiator hoses and driver inner C.V boot. She got nice wash as well followed by one hour engine bay detail.

I've been extremely busy with my house so cars haven't been getting much love lately :-(

This car had another electrical problem :-( my right rear curtesy light did not work,end up being broken wire at connector.

Thanks to Mike now I got good hand brake rubber gator :-)

Almost forgot that I took it to Monterey for Concours D' Lemons and that was 400 hard miles trip,lots and lots 7600 RPM pulls :-) and of course next day back to daily driving.

I was on the way home from work on Saturday morning stuck behind semi for few minutes where all the sudden 6 foot ladder appeared and there was no way avoiding it :-( I swerved to left to avoid it and end up hitting it and running it over with front right wheel. I pulled over right away and figured my rim and oil pan get damaged,but but likely only the fog lamp bezel got the worst of it.  With how low my car is I'm surprised that I got away with it so clean.

O yeah I got it loaded again this weekend :-) I just ❤️ this car.

Finally got the time to replace steering dampener bushings and I flushed all fluid as well. Today I ordered new K&N air filter,water pump and timing belt kit.

Hmmm got a interesting phone call today,I got offered 99 C43 AGM E55 swapped and cash on top for my wagon. It’s a tempting offer.
