Thanks Terry, When I changed the oil, I realized that I had a sludge issue to deal with. I'm thinking that the last owner was a bit lax on his maintenance. (obvious understatement of the year)
CHEERS!!

Oh you guys and your sexy 1st gens. I wish i could find one, but i live in the mid west where it's hard to even find 2nd gens. I have put too much money in my 90 to even think about selling it. Very nice car you have.

Thanks JustyRally!! I really did not know what I had until I started hunting for parts. I'm glad the guy did not do any extensive body damage to the car. He was spinning donuts and bashed the front passenger wheel against a bolder and launched the car on top of the big rock. Surprisingly it bent the struts on both sides of the car. Really? How does that happen anyhow?? The 75 year old guy that owned the car gave it to me for $1.00 to haul it away. I did not want the car at first, but I gave in and took it off his hands. Now that I have started working on it and driving it around, I'm glad I took the car after all.

Yes indeed. I took it to a collision shop and got an ok on the rest of the front end. Of course I had already replaced a bad steering knuckle that was obviously damaged. Cheers!!

I went on a road trip last week with my Justy. From Walla Walla WA. to Duluth Minnesota. About 3200 miles round trip. I averaged 41 MPG. The car ran great. The only problem I had was hitting a deer. And what a small ass gas tank. I had to fill up every 200 miles.

That is pretty good mileage (consumption rate!) I once hit 45 and 41 MPG on a road trip but consider myself lucky to get 32 when bombing to and from work--Yes the small tank sucks!
