new owner in Louisiana

I bought an 05 R53s black on black with sunroof. I just love this little car. She has 85k on the guages. I have found the normal problems.

The mushroomed strut towers.
Clunk from the front.
Strut tower on drivers side busted.
Rear swaybar bushings shot.

So I have all new parts comming in. Powerflex all around. Plus going to do a service on trans.
I have some work ahead. However I have all the tools required to do the repairs.
Look forward to anyones inputs.

John
