Inner CV boots were completely torn on the front axles. Has cosmetic issues like paint chips, mainly on the front bumper. Clear coat was peeling on the carbon fiber pieces on the car. Fuel door wouldn’t open. Steering wheel is chewed up and in bad shape. Headliner was falling down, and was stained badly. Appears like the car was demodded, but the dealer claimed it was “all original”. They got it at an auction. I picked it up for $10,9 out the door.

First order of business was to replace the timing belt which looked worn. That spiraled into getting the head cleaned and reseated etc... pictures to follow.

Removed the head and all the components

Redoing the inner CV boots. They were torn and low on grease. I think this is was also caused my alternator to go bad, it was covered in grease. I wiped out the old grease.
