You really shouldn't go to a chain for any-sort of car work. Find a place a local car board recommends that isn't a "performance" shop as well.

That would be nice. Not sure what these are going for these days, though. It drives pretty well, needs suspension bushings replaced, but I don't think I'll get into all that just to sell it. Other than that the only thing holding it back is the body. Lots of rust and the rear bumper is held on with rope because the tab in the quarter panel rusted away 😂

This thing is officially for sale. Cleaned it up and got all my crap out of it. Fixed my blower motor switch (only worked on setting 1, not works on all four settings, the contacts just needed a good cleaning) and greased the other switches to make sliding them easier and smoother. Going to do the rear brakes because the hand brake has absolutely no spring tension on it and doesn't hold at all. Maybe clean the engine bay a bit. I don't want to spend much more money on this thing.

Fixed the rear brakes and hand brake. The bracket inside the drum for the hand brake was seized up on both sides. New shoes, drums, springs. Replaced the handbrake cable spring, it was rusted and bent out of shape. Handbrake holds just fine now. Cheap fixes are my favorite. Need to clean up the engine bay at some point and find that trim piece that goes on top of the steering column.

This damn car does not what to leave my possession. Every time I put it up for sale, something happens. Tried selling it earlier this year, got someone to look at it, but the engine light popped up on the test drive. Small evap leak. Awesome. Finally tracked that down and fixed it, put it up for sale, then it springs a gas leak. Finally get that fixed and tell someone she can come check it out, and one of the headlight ballasts dies. It fixed itself after a few days, decide to test everything before putting it back up and the horn crapped the bed and two more engine code. P0170 and P0455. **** me....
