Congratulations on the milestone!
I have a longway to go before I get there. I am close-ish to 200,000 kilometres though.

Very cool! Maybe we can use your thread for the 200k club? Which I will be joining in about 15k.

I'm impressed. Watch the throttle body. It and a mechanic were the downfall of my '92 SSE. It has 305K miles and I think a sticking intake valve. Please post more photos. The car looks like you just detailed it. - BC

The above are especially impressive to me for a car of this age and mileage. I'm both amazed and encouraged by this.
I have replaced at least one or two components from all of the above list on mine (shock absorber, 1 wheel hub, spark plug wires, most of the the exhaust, radiator), but mine is a long way from 200,000 miles.

Going to have to get a new CAT one of these days.. It has rusted out on the weld and tin foil is getting expensive.

so, you have had the same plugs for 200,000 miles, can you pull one and post a pic? - they must be in need of proper gap or have you done that regular like?

200k on spark plugs?? no way lol. I just haven't changed the wires for the spark plugs to the coil packs because they go bad/get corroded. However, I did run a set of spark plugs for 100k miles or so and they really didn't look too bad.
