dust boot things on shocks torn to ****

Needed new AC lines
Needed R12 refridgerant
New radiator
New Tranny
Struts were shot
New carpet and seats
Had no radio deck
Speakers were blown
No headlight covers
Tires were dry rotted
Exhaust leaked like crap
Lights in gauge cluster didnt work
Hydrolic(spelling) Pistons didnt work for rear hatch
Needed new tie rod ends.
Clutch was completely shot
Replaced the hatch/fuel door lever.

Eh, why not continue this thread here....
- missing lugnut and stripped stud in front right wheel *
- paint chips on hood
- trunk light is out/missing (also, no electricity is being supplied to it)
- fan only works on highest setting
- big rust spots on door sill and on trunk; minor spots in various places
- passenger door is slightly off-track
- the clutch is worn and on it's last year or so of it's 172K KM lifetime
- it needs a slight wheel alignment (pulls to the right abit)
- driver's side exterior lock and trunk lock get stuck (I've figured out the "algorithm" for the trunk though
)
Looking at previous posts, it seems I've got it pretty good
* = it's been fixed

I have a 95 SE
Things Wrong:
Timing chain rattle
Rattle in exhaust
Jackass who had the car before me stripped the oil pan drain plug
Big scuff on front bumper
Scratch on right quarter panel
11 year old paint is fading in some spots
large scratch where sun roof wind deflector used to be
Cracked right side mirror
Passenger and driver window/lock switch trim pieces are broken and rattle
Need new carpet
Need new floor mats
Random dings and scratches around car
ok most of these things are an easy fix and compared to most people aren't bad, but when your 18 and are on a tight budget and dont have the time to fix these things things, they just become anoying.
