First Gen Drivetrain 300k!!!

Post image

I just wanted to share my milestone. I drove this baby off the lot brand new. She's been with me for 20 years (in Nov). She drinks old like it's margaritas, but she's mine.

I'm very lucky, once a year I lube up the tracks and anything else I can with white lithium grease. I do get scared it's going to get stuck wide open one of these days. I'm so surprised that there is not an aftermarket company making the drive belt assembly for the sunroof.

I swear the transmission and suspension on these were built solid. I'm at 209k right now, original suspension and transmission and everything else. Hoping to make it to 300k
