I got the car as a stock non-runner in June; it had been sitting for seven years. Here's a list of what I've done:
-new battery
-replaced dead starter
-cleaned fuel tank
-replaced dead fuel pump
-new fuel filter
-replaced all rubber fuel lines
-installed reconditioned injectors
-repaired mass air flow sensor
-replaced distributor pick-up
-new master cylinder
-replaced all brake hoses
-installed remanufactured calipers
-new brake pads
-removed bumpers and relocated OEM turn signals
-cut 1.5 coils from all springs
-custom made air dam
-sewed in a new rear window
-new lug bolts
-4x98 to 4x100 wheel adapters (31 mm thick)
-Drag DR-20 wheels 15x7, +40 offset (actual offset with spacers is +9)
-195-55-15 tires
-clean, clean, and clean some more
Surprisingly, the oil, coolant, and air filter are still in good state. Next up is an alignment...
The following still need attention:
-fuel tank level sending unit
-window motors are weak
-wiper motor is weak
-radio wiring needs repair
-hazards switch got stuck in the on position (disconnected for now, so no turn signals either)
-paint and body

Those are the OEM turn signals. I bent open the brackets that held the bumper shocks and popped the turn signals in there.

The wheels are Drag DR-20s; the poor man's "Oldskools". There is slight tire rub on the plastic liners' rear when the steering wheel is turned almost all the way.
