At the moment there are a total of 4 things wrong with the car:
1. Front left wheel bearing needs replacing, does not affect drive-ability, just a constant hummm while driving.
-Planning on doing this soon, just haven't had the time
2. the body could be in better shape, dents, rust, typical of a 15 year old Canadian car.
3. passenger rear hub is bent where it bolts to the strut, does not affect drive-ability, just camber is off.
4. Factory water temp and fuel level not working, seems like they run on different voltages, hence the aftermarket gauges
