Hello all,
It’s been awhile since I bought my 04 in October 03. She’s got 91,200 miles. Everything is stock/OEM/original except filters and shift bushings. Impetus for the restore: peeling clear coat, cheaper than buying a new car, and I LOVE my SRT-4.
I got a number of dealer parts the other day (retiree discount, lots of things discontinued). Searching junkyards for many of the trim pieces.
I have relied heavily on Modern Performance for information and will probably use them for some parts too. These forums have been invaluable, despite some pics no longer existing. The internet videos available are somewhat lame. I might make my own, we’ll see.
Work checklist:
Rear struts, mounts, camber kit, alignment
Front struts, lower control arms, alignment
Timing belt, water pump, tensioners, idler pulley, belts, plugs, wires
Clutch, clutch fork, pivot ball, clip, rubber
Paint and clearcoat
Window trims (doors, windshield)
Console box cover replace
Moonroof rubber and flush adjustment investigate
Check speakers
Clean upholstery
Other items may be added along the way.
Project done in pieces, estimate 2 months + paint.
I live in Charlotte NC. If anyone has more resources in the area, feel free to share. Anyone know where you can get original rebuilt calipers? 3 of my originals are long gone.
