After getting the car fixed and drivable she went to get a smog, her first fuel up, oil change, coolant change and burp. She was driving good but would still over heat a lot for some reason.

Round 2 of coolant change and burp but then realized the coolant pipe was rusted and leaking, changed the hose first hoping it was just a hose, but still leaked after warmed up. Found a guy parting out a 420a and picked up his coolant pipe and left marker light pig tail since mine was cut off for some reason.
Funny thing is when I went to go pick up the part, my clutch slave cylinder gave out… 30 miles away from home. Had to get towed.

After doing everything I can think of before doing head gasket, I wanted to try a CAI and see if it would help with my engine overheating and as I expected, it worked. It only has over heated ever once and a while but rare now. Usually only on very hot days.

Changing out old under hood shifter bushings to new aluminum ones, changed out soft base bushings to a bit more stiffer ones ( yes they were upside down in the photo but I corrected my self when it popped off for a test shift) got on a short throw Megan racing and while I was at it I decided to get new batter shims because one of half broken and causing the car to turn off and not turn on after a single drive.

Decided to restore my wheels since it’ll be awhile till some that I want. Car hasn’t been messed with much at the moment. I do plan to probably rebuild the front suspension and rear and get coil overs along with it. Here are the photos of before and after with the wheels
