So the car is not dead

[noitulover]

But I only have 2 weeks to get it fixed.

I have a small leak in the gaskets on the hydraulic steering column. The shop says i need to replace the whole rack and pinion steering mechanism, is that true?

I have a 1982 240 gl

everything else besides a bald edge of the front left wheel, is really in great shape. I am so lucky to have found this car. I plan on driving it to 500K. it's at 377K and still running strong.(well it is kinda slow but i love it to death anyways)
