Nah, just replaced a bunch of things that were missing or getting worn in my eyes. Like idler and torsion pulleys, t chain idler and shaft, bad alt. new a/c comp. as did not want to do that later, battery, wheels from a base Deville for now, and FPR and you know how the nickle dime stuff adds up. Also where prev owner had it parked some very respectable person cut the converter off and its not a pretty job they do, so did some exhaust work. I don't think I should have any problems with the Norms inserts as they seem pretty hefty. All in all i think I've got a pretty decent ride for what I have in it. After all who counts the labor lol.
BTW spent about 12+ hrs washing, buffing and waxing so looks fine now. Will have to get my tail in gear and post some pics.
