You got it!
Tensioner making noise.
Mechanic didn't like the plugs I used.
Car was running on 2 cylinders.
Needs plug wires.

Then list goes on and on.
I told the mechanic I plan on keeping this car.
I want it to be a reliable daily driver. It's not like I want it fixed good enough to sell.

LCAB, subframe bushings, RTABS. Motor mounts. Tranny mounts.
I suspect it's going to be somewhere between 2K and 3K.
May need to start a gofundme campaign.
