So about a month ago I was cruing past a recovery lot and spied an '89. Bought
it for $100. It is an auto. It does not run. Any thoughts on where to start?
I don't have a key, so I'll be dropping the column to remove the ignotion lock.
I was thinking timing belt. Oil leaking from all gaskets, transfluid leaking
from gasket. Oil and trans fluid are both nice and black(except for the 3 qts
of each in the back) Radiator dry, but it's not in the oil and hoses all look
good.

Anyone have a left fender? It's the last part I need to restore it before
modifying/ upgrading. I'm also looking to redo the A/C. Any thoughts on where
to source new/rebuilt A/C parts?

I'm picking up a 5 spd in two weeks. Have the hard parts to upgrade to Aspire
brakes, protege mirrors and steering wheel as starting points for custom. Will
likely lower it when I replace the rotten bushings and balljoints.Anyone know if
Festiva Motorsport still stocks the J-spec style bumpers and side skirts?

Thanks!

... Keep it simple to start with. Remember, you need air, fuel, and spark to make it go. Air and fuel are easy to troubleshoot, so I'd hit those first. ... ...
