Looks like everything (without tires - getting those done today though) is gonna cost $588 before tax/shipping.
So at the end of this, I will have spent $1335 (if I do all the suspension/linkage work myself) to get this ole gal into shape.
The brakes (and a look at a faulty door lock) cost me $505. Didn't want to have brake fluid all over the place and on me. 2 tires today will cost $230.
And still gotta fix the front door locks. Now the driver door lock don't work... so both front door locks are no good for "automatic" locking/unlocking.
