Hello everyone!
Just recently purchased a 2k3 ST Protege 5 with about 196k on it. (New Clutch at 140k and timing belt was replaced at 120k) It has seen better days and will require some repairs to improve ride quality. Mainly purchased this car as a way to teach the Mrs. how to drive a standard transmission and I always wanted one when I was a teenager- win win for everyone.
This will give me something to do while sheltering in place.
Any tips, advice and other Protege5 related information is appreciated
Will be researching past threads on repairs. So far what this car needs..
New Solenoid,
One of the Side Skirts is missing
A little rust on the A pillar
Wind Noise coming from the front windshield,
One of the fog lights doesn't work (other is cracked)
Dents + scuff
New Tires
Rims needs to be de-rust
I'm sure I'll find more things to do as time goes on.
A good cleaning.
