    My parts list...

    So my car has sat for about a year now and it has only been started and driven a few times. With that I plan on doing a little bit of overhaul and general maintenance. If you could take the time and look over my list it would be greatly appreciated.

    Timing Belt
    Timing Belt Tensioner
    Water Pump and Gasket
    Alternator BeltPower Steering Belt
    A/C Belt
    Spark Plugs
    Cooling Hoses - All 8 of them
    Engine Drain Crush Washer
    Tail Light Seal - They leak.
    BMW Anti-Freeze

    I plan on flushing the cooling system so I am assuming I am going to need 2 bottles of the anti freeze?

    And anything else you guys can think of... I was thinking about the fuel filter...
    Keep on Keepin' on.

    Do replace the fuel and air filter. I'd also seriously consider new ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor.

    If it has been a while, a valve cover gasket set and valve adjustment would be a good idea.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      You should change the brake fluid; use DOT 4 either ATE Blue or Castrol GTLMA. You can bleed them by yourself with a vacuum pump. Also bleed the clutch to get fresh fluid everywhere.

          The brakes were upgraded about halfway, with SS lines, Brembo rotors, rebuilt calipers, and ATE Super blue :)

          And I guess I will add the rest of the stuff to my list. Yay for maintenance!
