ok so seeing as how after being out of commission for a month or 2, im going to be fixing the teggy soon. im wanting to make this a sort of "to do list"/build thread, so others can see my progress, and so i can have all my goals for my car in 1 place.
so, first off, heres the crappy cell phone pics of the car as it sits now.

i need a head gasket i believe, due to burning coolant. im planning on getting the head gasket done, timing belt as well as all the other drive belts and such, and the waterpump because the engine has about 101k, and seeing as how a timing belt and waterpump are due for service at this mileage (i think?) ill replace em before they break.
next this is to get rid of the ricer front bumper for 2 reasons
1. ricer
2. no front blinkers
i seem to be having trouble finding the 94-97 front bumper with a lower valance, so i might just do the 98-01 front end conversion
i want to put a stock shifter in place of the short throw thats in there now because i believe it causes 4th to scratch reverse sometimes
after all this is done, hopefully the car will be running ok, then i would like to get swirlies, meshies, or as a last choice sunflowes and have them powdercoated white.
another concern is the spoiler isnt quite level, so im either going to try to get it to sit level, or most likely take it off, anyhow this is all going to be slow as i graduated high school this year and you know how that goes. i also want to fix the rear passenger side quarter panel. on the inside its rotted and where it mounts to the bumper seems to have broken, so the bumper flares out a little. anyhow, lemme know what you guys think, any comments criticism or opinions are welcome and appreciated
