Second attempt to certify the car failed. Don't know if its just the shop being 
really sticky or what. Car drives straight, stops good, all glass good, all 
lights work, horn works, all new wiring, new tires, etc. His list of wants in 
order to certify are, new steering rack( I have one), all new rubber bushings 
front and rear, engine has oil leaks( B.S. just did all gaskets- its the 
steering pump that leaks) no defrost fan, wants new rear brake hardware( brake 
shoes are fine), antifreeze leak (one small intermittent drip) no neutral safety 
switch, leaking front wheel cal (good to know), engine cover must be metal and 
did not like the seat belts.  So much for Crown originality. A lot of these 
issues I'm aware of and want to fix as I go but for him to certify the car has 
to be pristine! I'm feeling a little pissed! Anyone else running into this crap?
