New member with an old car

[95protegelx]

hey i found this site off a google search, it seems to be the most informative website for mazda proteges out there, and seeing as i just bought my first protege i decided its a good time to register and say hello!
i just bought a new beater car, which i have to admit i like a lot, very fun to drive, but anyway i picked it up for $500 yesterday, its a 95 mazda protege LX with the 1.5L, manual transmission, 205,000 miles, and only has a few minor issues, i think i got a great deal personally based off how it drives and looks, so hopefully i can get some info to fix my minor problems and have my perfect new beater!
pics will be posted in a couple minutes!
thanks in advance for any help!

Welcome! I've already replied to your other two threads. Looks like a clean car. There's a 1997 near me for sale in that same color. Only problem is the roof looks like elephants trampled all over it.
