Finally, I hve replaced metal impeller water pump, Thermostat, Aluminum thermostat housing, fan switch yesterday. Only thing was getting the fan out was a PITA. Did not have 32mm wrench, so using adj wrench and screw driver was just a joy!
Waterpump (original) and thermostat housing(original) was actually in a very good shape with no damages or anything.
Only thing noticed was that fan had one blade missing.(broke off) Is this going to be an issue or can I live with it?
I have also changed the spark plugs to NGK's and they are lot better than Bosch that was installed. Smoother idle and quicker response.

you want to replace that fan before the uneven weight of missing a blade causes it to break up and possibily damage other cooling parts or the hood.
