Hey guys heres an update on the car. I was planning on putting her on the road till some curve balls were thrown my way this past week. Some how my front windshield got busted not pointing fingers, but i believe my two younger siblings might have done it. When they were playing baseball in the yard with there friends but none of them will fess up to it. And I don’t have the money to drop into putting a new windshield in right now ... I also have found something’s in the engine bay that need to be attended to right away. She’s got the RUST!!
Hopefully not to bad and it wont cost me my left nut to fix, but im going to be pulling the motor soon so any advice or tips would be helpful since this will be my first motor extraction. While its out i plan on cleaning it up a lot maybe looking into some heads,cams,intake, and maybe fuel upgrade will see how much i get in grad money first lol. But I now have six months to work on the car cuz i just paid my dad the money to drive his van around for the next six months. Anyways ill be taking pics as tackle this task.

And this is what she looks like now

So that is a 87-93 car that has the four eye front cap? Different looking, but i kinda like it! First engine pull huh, they get alot easier after you do it a couple times and know where all little wires are hidden. The only part that sucks about an engine pull is laying on the ground undoing the transmission. Everything on the top side is fairly straight forward. Pull radiator, fan, accesories, un-bolt headers, undo wiring, pull starter, take loose from tranny, motor mounts, and yank out!! Good luck...
