wow... forgot about my thread here.
anyway, update time
the '86 is now my parts car. back in may i bought an '88 in much better mechanical shape. It finally passed state inspection on saturday after i replaced a tie rod end, steering rack boot, and tail light lens. i'm currently trying to track down a vac leak so she'll run a bit better (currently idles a tad high, not bad really).
after that's done, i should do the timing belts since I don't know how old the current ones are and look into the oil leaks. the front seals seem fine, I do have some oil leaking from the rear of the engine (not sure of source... haven't really looked)
