An update on mine

[Jamesvinar]

So some of you know that mine was in pretty bad condition when i bought it, honestly i think it should have been in a junkyard (Broken windshield, electrical, transmission, air ride, and other misc) But as of now the cars doing alot better. First things done were the windshield and air ride both were fairly easy, I drove it around for a little bit because well the car was going forward when i put on the gas. On my way home one night i noticed i didn't have my lower gears so I took it home and it started to get worse, gears out of sync and eventually the forward clutch failed. Struggled with the removal a little because of a few bolts breaking and made a few discoveries about some gaskets and seals that were bad, New real main and oil filter adapter and by that time i was ready to put the rebuilt trans in. All the problems after that and the anti theft have seemed pretty minor, right now I'm dealing with a leaky exhaust (Know where to patch), No power accessories on the drivers side (Lots of stuff unplugged), vacuum leak, a broken headlight (This one pains me) and the worst is one that i cannot figure out how to fix. My drivers side front squeaks when i drive forward and when i press on the brakes it gets louder but at the 25% depression position the sound goes away, I'm thinking they're rubbing against the rotor as i drive but i would think that it would get worn down by now.

Anyway I can see that the previous owner had no idea what he was doing with cars. He let trans go through burnt fluid, used improper jack points, Degreased the ball joints and basically used the car as a trash can. I'm not really very good either but i can at least ask for help when i need it and do basic maitenence
