How many miles has the Camaro done? thats quite a list..

[minniewinnie]

According to the clock its done 90233km

its not to big a list when you sort out the stupid stuff like

Nearside front main beam headlight slightly loose (screw lose I expect)
Exhaust clamps in poor condition ( what exhaust clamps are in good condition on a original exhaust Unless it's a stainless system)
Rear pads worn low approx 25% left        
Front brake discs in slight poor condition  (Its a Little bit pitted from being parked up over the winter and just needs a few runs out to clean out His words not mine )

The Bushes and oil leaks are the head scratcher and could be tricky to sort out

about 56,000 off the top of my head then... re bush the whole car and you will be amazed how much better it will drive. the suspension on a camaro is soft enough to poly bush without really noticing too much change in ride.

I've always preferred new OEM bushes in the past, but given how many are suffering at that low a mileage, it looks like they are made from very poor quality materials, so depending on price it may be worth upgrading them.

I've replaced an engine mount bush recently using powerflex poly bushes, and they are very good, light years ahead of where they were a few years ago. I was going to do the anti roll bar bushes as well, but at 91,500 miles everything generally still looks very good, but some wear will be inevitable.
