New radiator, Cracked mount.

and to think I bought the car to save money,

[whoa]

vacuum hoses
expansion tank
top motor mount
door check
pads and rotors
start interducing new ATF into the old and hope it doesn't do in the tranny
pcv
oil/filter
fuel filter
cbv

If you're doing all those other things yourself, the timing belt wont be a big deal.

Just buttoned-up the new blower fan, found I need a new power regulator, too - damn.
Installed new gas struts for the hatch - Super easy if you've been putting it off! Do it Do it Do it!
Also noticed that there's a huge crack in the windshield. Didn't see it 'cause it's right behind the rear-view mirror!

Just ordered:
The suspension and steering kit from Groton - I think the dead shocks may have something to do with that cracked window...
Air injection parts so I can pass emmisions test (what - It's only 5 months late . . . .)

Need to swap the timing belt soon - yeah, it's overdue.

For fun I'm going to paint the plastic parts under the hood bright red to match the car and paint the factory grill black - just not sure if it'll be glossy or flat, or if I should remove the stripe and emblem or leave 'em in place.

Looked into it and found it not to difficult, its the first think im doing now...still its more nerveracking when its your own car

TB, is not bad at all just make sure your marks are true, you shoul be fine, do it before it bites you in the ass.

I was thinking about this today as I am putting together a parts order.

The '94 N/A

Replace front motor mount.
Replace right side axle.
Replace tie rod ends.
Replace shocks and struts - I might as well deal with the spring seats while I am there.

I just replaced the clutch and the seals for the axles and the rear main even though they weren't leaking as PM.

The '96 Platinum

Alternator - the instrument cluster is lit up like a Christmas tree - Tomorrow.
Oil Change - Tomorrow.

Pending - I may need to yank the dash again as it seems I have a slow freon leak.

The '96 N/A

Brake pads - his (my son's) are the newest in the fleet but he thinks he needs to change them - I think I will chekc that before I buy the parts.
Rear Shocks
Get the proper anaerobic sealant and finally end the oil leak between the block and the sump pan.
Oil Change
