I got it in Ardross. Nice guy. He's giving away a free plastic outdoor dining set if anyone's interested. :P
I'm going to do some preventative maintenance on the car. The weak points are transmission heat, wheel bearing strain and brake rotor warping.
I've found a tranny cooler for $200, and some cheap wheel bearings. I'm still wondering where I should source brakes from. I could always go for brake sets from wreckers and drill/slot them.
A lot of the problems in this car (including the above mentioned) come from the sheer weight (1600kgs of it). I'd like to keep the car luxurious to a certain extent, but there are quite a few things that could go. I've read the standard seats, hood, and boot lid are good things to swap to shave a few pounds.
I'm not confident enough in my own skills to strip the car to replace sound deadening tar with "quiet car"

but it would be an improvement.
The exhaust is also a culprit in the sheer weight, but that would make way for a higher flowing system.
