Just starting on

Hello All,
New to this forum and thought I would ask if there is anything I should be looking out for. I just got a 1993 Cavalier RS convertible 3.1 V6 for my son as a project to restore. The top, tires, and interior are really rough. Are their any items I need to look out for or just replace because they go out. It is his first car and I want it to be reliable for him. Is the 3.1 a good little engine?

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Just keep up on maintenance and you should be good. The 3.1 is an OK motor.

3.1 worked very well in my `91 sunbird. no complaints,had about 130k on it when I parked it due to body or lack of .......lol. changed the oil every 3000 miles and never had to add any in between changes

Are there any areas for concern like changing out the brake rotors for a different year because they have problems or anything of the sort?

It's a convertible and the top is wasted, is that a major undertaking to put a new top on?

Sorry for the stupid questions I just haven't dealt with anything in this arena before. Now HP Diesel trucks I can help you with...
