OK, Ready??
Sunroof is the basic one, not pano for that year. There are small plastic clips that break and can be replaced. Bought from eBay I think. Do a search here for step by step instructions
Coolant leaks-these motors run very warm by design(BAD DESIGN!), so lot's of plastic in the cooling system go bad. You also have the coolant pipes under the intake that have O rings that go bad. Than there is the valley pan gasket, than there is the coolant reservoir tank, than there is the plastic tanks on the radiator, than there is the water pump....get my drift??
This car is now 22 years old. Unless you are doing the work yourself, this car will bankrupt you. Especially since we don't know the service history, mileage, overall condition.
And.....we havn't discussed the timing chain guides, brakes, worn out suspension, etc. Just trying to give you a realistic overview of what you are up against. This is all coming from someone who has 3 of the V8 versions, do my own work. So I am a glutton for punishment.
Good luck
