Looks great! I have a white 99 as well, love that car. Mine only has 130k and my goal is 500,000 miles, which I think is do able. Have you changed any of the suspension bushings?

Got 213K on my 1998 and know I need some other parts replaced, but she rides so good and smooth. Even at ~18 years old still my favorite ride.
It is amazing at what replacing a few key parts will do for the ride.
Great Job Billy!

Listen...just picked up my LS, and it runs like a new car, perfectly SILENT and peppy as new, AT IDLE, YOU CAN NOT EVEN HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING, press on the gas and the car moves silently like it did years ago. and I guess my plugs were in need of replacing too, that was a thousand well spent...
Every idler bearing on the front of the engine has been replaced and it has made a real difference..

Compared with the age, both you and your car look young inside and out. I don't know that an owner resembles a car or a car resembles an owner. What I can easily assume is that you are taking a good care of you yourself and your car.

I just finished my timing belt/water pump. I replaced the alternator and power steering pump and a idler pulley. Also did the plugs, coolant temp sensor and thermostat.

I wish I did the tensioner and fan bracket/pulley tho.

I didn't feel like waiting for it to come in.


I'm going to move onto the suspension next, new bushings and whatnot.

I love this car.
