Nothing much. It has just about 200k on it. I put on about 25 to 30k a year, commuting.
I have the following parts on hand, to install:
front struts
replacement catalytic converter
used right rear knuckle that I will blast and paint and then press in a new bearing, and then swap out the current one. I have done the bearing on that side before. the ABS sensor broke off in the hole. I know the bearing is facing the correct direction> But, the new sensor isn't reading it. The hole to hold the sensor had to be reamed out. I figure it is easier to get the new knuckle ready to swap, rather than redo that entire side on project day.
The car has a few warning lights on. But, it runs good still and gets the same mpg as ever.

I'm seeking out a reasonably priced Clemco blasting pot, if anyone knows of one.
I don't know yet on the paint. Just something to keep it from rusting right up again, primarily.
