Default So I picked up an N/A

i have been bringing it back to life over the past few weeks, it is coming along great and so far i am very happy with it. i rescued it from someone that didnt take any care of it, he claimed to be a mechanic but the idiotic stuff i have been fixing is unreal!

so far i have replaced...
rotors and pads
both front window regulators (windows would not go up when i got it and it was being snowed in)
both window switches, mirror switch, put a shift **** back onto it
somewhat repaired the interior door panel, i'll be junk yard picking another soon as the dealer wants $1300 for it
replaced all idlers, belt and p/s reservoir
added an oil cap (yes it came with no oil cap, who sells a car without an oil cap! it was 2 qts low when i test drove it)
ball joints and tie rods all the way around (what a PITA that was!)
fixed the hack job they did on the exhaust
douched the interior 3 times now
buffed out the headlight lenses, added headlight and bright bulbs (yes it had none in there, wtf!)
brought the inoperable radio back to life
oil change/flush
transmission service
mounted the center counsil back down
valve cover breathers
fixed 3 check engine lights, still have 1 more egr cel to tackle
replaced horns

it is dark red with black interior, automatic trans, has a power moon roof that i havent dared to try and open yet

i still have a broken front grill and drivers mirror cover to replace, will it ever end, lol.
