Wow thats a list of problems, i thought my '89 was a piece compared to all my friends like 99-now cars, only probs i had was blown exhaust that i remedied with a $40 "performance" muffler, works for now though, and the R&P broke so had to replace that.

Heh just read your long post up there and reminded me of my car~

I bought it for 800$. Had a blown head gasket and a football size dent in the front right side of the car (That's all she had told me was wrong with it). She had over heated it and, yes for me there was rust everywhere. After I got that fixed, I needed a new radiator, water pump, and injectors. This ***** didn't tell me about any of this ****. On top of that the passenger seat was broken. When I bought the car I couldn't drive it so I knew nothing of the transmission. When I finally got it running and drove it around, 1-3rd gear grind and rock (I think it's just a clutch but I'm gonna get the SR swap anyway) and it pops out of 5th. The only good gear is 4th. Oh yeah and the mirrors don't work. She broke off the little joystick for moving the mirrors. Oh yeah the oilpan has a nice sized dent in the bottom of it. Ok well I just wanted to vent also~

I'm sure there are 10+ things that are wrong and I havn't found out about yet. Good thing it only costed 800$ and I can do all the labor myself. It would be a ***** if I had to take it in somewhere.

And one of the tires is nearly bald, 2 are in ok condition and 1 is brand new~

Maybe that's why it pulls to the right..
