She's a pristine beauty of a car for sure. The previous owners must have taken very good care of this vehicle.

Welcome! Looks great. There is a seller on eBay offering WIS/ASRA/EPC for around $6. Use the search button on this site, it is discussed extensively.

Thanks guys for the comments, she has 150~ miles on her but drives like a dream .

Don't worry about the plates , they will change soon.

in the meantime , i hear some squeaks coming from the (front?) bushings on stops, anyone done a complete bushing refreshment diy?

I'd get SDS. Chinese clone C3 systems can be had for well under $400 pre-installed on a (used) laptop.
