kindof a pain in the dick but at least general parts are cheap

most expensive thing is going to be clutch kit, engine swap (h22) and exhaust kit as well as tires/rims but still that's not so bad

just making it my project car i guess. i'm not trying to rice it out but i'd like it to be nice :^)

just replaced the battery, fuses, starter/alternator/power steering pump is next, then exhaust kit.
has an oil leak but it's slow, smoking exhaust makes me think piston rings are shot, but if all that means is i'm burning more oil then i can wait for an engine swap.

You've already sunk more money into that thing then it's worth.

Just rip the engine out and rebuild it.

Easy as pie and like 1/4th the cost of a swap.

i don't want to rebuild an engine with 150k on it
rather swap it with a nicer engine w/ less miles on it
