Don't over-fill that tranny... Bad idea. Real PITA to check and fill too isn't it?! YUCK!

Made a few more moves:

-Found out where my coolant is going. Turns out I have a slit in my passenger-side upper coolant house. No store around me has it, so looks like I'll be ordering it.

-Did a little engine de-greasing, looks better but not great. I'll have to get in there with more detail on a warmer day

-Opened my sunroof manually and did some testing. Turns out the motor is shot. At least it's not the switch or any of the mechanical stuff, so that's a plus. Also found that the small leak I have is from the sunroof weather stripping. So that needs replacing.

-Removed the black paint from the wheels, completing the full removal of all blacked out parts that were on the car :) Here is a pic as well as a nice one I took the other day.

Good job, always good to see when one of these cars lucks out, particularly if it had a tough road previously.

On the sunroof - if the sunroof motor is attempting to move but cannot, the it is more likely that the sliding mechanism needs cleaning. Also, the sunroof wether stripping does not completely seal even when new. A small gap is expected. The design allows a small amount of water to enter but then it is channeled to drains. There are a number of write ups on this. If you can't find them I can post links.
