No toes stepped on! At least not mine :-) I will take your advice and have the shop get the part and do the work. I will also take care of that battery compartment. Please keep your fingers crossed that there is nothing else needing to be replaced! As I have stated, she has been sitting for 6 years, so it is a bit of a crap shoot.

Anyone know? Just a rough guesstimate. Trying to prepare the wife :-) I was thinking around $2000-$2500.
Thanks all!

Been there done that. John has no room in his garage for anything taking more than a day. I had an appointment scheduled with John for last Tuesday, but when I spoke with him he said that he has no parking or anywhere to keep a car more than a day. He was thinking it may take longer if he has to replace any fuel lines as well as the air box, etc.

I just did my battery compartment1. remove battery
2. Wash down with a solution of water and baking soda to neutralize any acid.
3. scrape any rust off and pull up any rubber liner material that has bubbled ( has acid or rusted metal underneath .
4. Tape off and spray with battery box liner , or bedliner , or high quality rubber rock guard. Do not use the ashpalt based stuff as it never seams to harden up enough.
Will look brand new when you are done.
