haha never get bored with these cars ...at least urs is up and running ...yes the bumpers like to crack in that area ...if not from high curbs then its ice and snow in the winter (ask me how i know )I was wondering why one of my lug nuts wouldn't go back on and found out why. View attachment 565927 A couple of new wheel studs and lugs are on my shopping list.
like he said cheap kit ....that's my next job ...picked up the rebuild kit from rock auto .will be following the link tk106 posted and put in my 2 cents worth on my thread ..when i get home next week
The shell and undercarriage are surprisingly rust free. There is some small rust spots on several body panels but nothing too major. The wheel well in question seems to have been coated with a rubber undercoating a millennium ago and I suspect that's why the rust spot exists.after almost 3 decades these cars need a lot of attention ...pretty well everything has to be rebuilt ...seal ,boots , bushings ,hoses are all gonna be pretty well shot ...best to reassess and realize this is gonna be a major commitment and ur gonna run into problem after problem unless u tear everything down and catch things before they leave you stranded or over ur head in the money department and find something major structural that can't be fixed ...I'd make sure that the shell is sound or at least repairable before i'd go any further ..rust is a killer..after that take it one bite at a time
Thanks for the info, I'll look into rebuilding the pump. It seems like it's the hoses that were leaking but it definitely wouldn't hurt to rebuild it. The alternator is pretty gunked up, I think after I get the car driving I'll get it tested at a shop.Never a dull moment working on/restoring a 30 year old car. I noticed the alternator is soaked. May want to rebuild the power steering pump before you lose the alternator. The kit is cheap and you just need basic tools.

1g exhaust manifolds are junk. Look into replacing it with a 2g manifold.
