    I will shortly. My mind was forever altered by wagons. My 1st was a Fairmont Squire, followed by a Monza Kammback wagon. That led to a Montero 2 door, a Scout Terra, and a Grand Wagoner. Now a PT.

    Nice. You should add a few photos of the car here so we can see more of it.

    Everything is ok to work on if you do it all yourself. If you have a shop do anything the parts are cheap but the labor will kill you! I've got tools and time. Belts aren't fun. To change a headlight bulb you must go in thru the wheel wells.

    Oh I forgot about the headlamps. That’s crazy. The reason I asked about the belt is don’t you have to remove a motor mount? I did a timing belt on one once. It wasn’t bad once I had I think a motor and trans. Mount loose and jacked the engine up

    Welcome to the forum, Brian. Looking forward to seeing more pics of your TURBO!!! PT Cruiser...

    My only experience with them was back around 2001 - 2002 when I had one as a company car for a couple of years. I found it comfortable, good on gas (stock engine), and very roomy in the cargo area, considering its size. I did auto damage appraisal in So Cal, and I would open the rear hatch, pull out a little fold-up stool I kept back there, have the removable package shelf set in the 'low' position, set up the laptop and printer, plug everything in (had an inverter...), and I would write my damage estimate right there.

    Thanks! I have a turbo and a non-turbo as well. The kid moved up to a Saturn Astra XR 3 door now and I reclaimed the old one! I find them very captivating vehicles.

    A PT Cruiser's interior can be configured any one of 26 ways!
