If I could just get rid of the squeaks and rattles from it being twenty years old, I would be ok. I could just add stuff along as I go.

Yeah, thats what really makes my car a pain. The car runs fine, but it's all the rattles and wind noise and leaks that make it slightly uncomfortable. It's not to the extent where where it can't be driven, in fact, I love driving my car.....just in the dry, cool, weather on the smoothest roads i can find.
