I hope your car dont look like that right now. If so get off your a$$ snd clean that poor thing man. Also find a steering wheel you like and get the kit to put it on.

yeah thats what its looked like before i cleaned it that was like mid clean but its still a little dusty i gotta go buy some armor all wipes for it or something.
and my freaking door handle just broke the door handle itself didnt break i think maybe the metal rod inside the door that connects it to the latch might have fell of or something but it does open from the inside still.
it made a loud click when i was unlocking it then it wouldnt open from the outside? and also i think it might have been because of lock. its a little loose and its really hard to unlock, u have to jiggle it just right for it to open.

Haha, fix your clutch pedal too, it's all messed up. Also, what happened to the panel above the glove box, did someone hack it up and remove the vents and add that...clock (or is it actually a gauge)? I agree with everyone else, just get stock stuff. You could get a steering wheel like mine..

i agree w/ "stay stock"

it's an '85 bro.....slowly get it to "showroom new"

as far as oil......use synthetic 10w30 , thats what is best, but if you happen to live ina warm climate , or the engine is really tired, you can benefit from heavier like 15w50

but use synthetic for sure
