I used to work in a body shop back in the 1980s and no one would remove the door to fix a ding. It gets mudded, spotted in and blended. Should be no more than $600 USD even with todays insane rates.

I use Victor gaskets when there's a choice.

Raybestos Element 3coated rotors and Akebono pads from Rockauto. Never had any problems with these.

Another thing I'll add is I have started changing trans fluid early after seeing dark Dex-6 come out when I took a sample. I changed the fluid in my 2023 Caddy XT4 at 21,000 miles. These new multi-speed transmissions and CVTs need more frequent service.

Gauge After reading this, I realized I wanted an inflator too. I ordered the Milton 0-60 car inflator but I see the OP already has one like this.

Milton Gauge A little more pricey but still under $100.00 and made in USA.

When I bought my 2023 Cadillac XT4 with GM's 2.0L turbo, it didn't shift into 9th speed until it had 500 miles. I was making an interstate trip and I noticed it shift. I looked at the speedo and I noticed it had 500 miles.

Just oil changes and brakes. It was a lot of highway miles but still it held up well.

My last project was this 1999 Snapper disc drive mower.

FWIW there was a 2018 Subaru Forester (I think 2.5L) in the family and she went over 100,000 miles without any issues at all. They seem pretty solid and the Forester has decent room inside for tall people.

MT621 is the number for my E168 movement and some others. I don't know if you can retrofit a newer battery into an older movement. Here's a link to the picture. Battery

Virginia is kind of high, but I have a choice to buy an old POS where the tax is cheap. I paid $1,300 personal property tax for a '23 Cadillac, '18 Cherokee, '12 Chevy truck, '99 Chaparral boat w/trailer. License plates are in addition to that but they're not too bad.

I may be wrong, but I've heard there's a phone app you can get to update the time.

Yep. I just did one and the only special thing is lining up the little tab on the back of the battery with the slot. Dang thing is tiny, though.

Sorry about hijacking your thread, but I’m an obsessive collector. Here’s another shot of my titanium diver.

Here’s my Promaster diver. Gold case with black bezel.

I had a piece of the lumed bezel fall out and Omega fixed it under warranty with a new bezel.

Here’s my old Citizen Ecodrive I put a new battery into and my favorite Omega Seamaster.

I just put a rechargeable battery in my oldest Ecodrive. It lasted 11 years before it started losing time but the key is to set those watches in a window sill or somewhere they can keep a full charge. I didn't do that with mine.
