Just got a list of stuff I need for my car to be cert. How much you think it’s gonna run me.
Right rear parking brake
Holes in rear rocker panels
Balljoints on 4 wheels
Steering Rack Leak
Rotors and Pads
Blaah this is def not what I expected. Woo.
Can these job be done by myself. The ball joints will probabily be a pita.
a used steering rack would cost 100-200$ if you could find one. a reman one from partsource would cost 300-500$
rotors and pads would cost you a hundred or 2 depending on brand and etc
so with just those 2 items your looking at the mid-high hundreds.
i would say around 1-1.5gs to get that list fixed.
holes on rear rocker panel…well that can get prett expensive…its kinda hard to give you a pricei htink it all depends on how much they charge you to do the work…
Blah.
Is it worth doing all that work an a car with 300 600 kms?
well depends on how much you want to spend and how clean the car is outside…and engine wise…ect…
This is a pic.

ball joints $180 per side rear, $50 (?) for fronts
rears cannot be bought (please some correct me with retailer info) and need to be bought as complete lower control arm assemblies
^^ Moog makes rear balljoints

moog has gone down in quality, not the same beefy parts they were, but still give them a call and see what they offer

get a hot safety if you just want to drive and slowly fix all the parts
