    Hey y'all. Nice cars.

    A family member passed on a 99 GTP to me a couple years ago and it looks like a list of repairs is steadily rising with time, so I'm going to be hunting down info during that process.

    I'm not much of a mechanic, but I keep up with oil changes, air filter, hoses, and belts, and I replaced a tensioner wheel and had to put in a new fuel pump resistor in(that one had me stumped for a bit). I took it in to have the supercharger and starter replaced.

    1. Passenger side wheels have cracks/slow leaks, so I'm currently hunting down some steel wheels just to keep her rolling.
    2. Oil leak
    3. Fuel line is rusted to Fuel Filter.
    4. Water is leaking onto the passenger floor board whenever it rains, but doesn't seem to be coming through the windsheild gasket.
    5. Power windows don't work.
    6. Cigarette lighter doesn't see power.

    Not at the caliber of most of the other vehicles here, but she's all I got... besides my bicycle.

    So yeah, I'll be looking around to sort that out, as well as techniques from other ShadeTree mechanics, and trustworthy places to order parts.

    Joe
