while towing the car home, the tire blew out on the front left

removed the sunroof hardware and pushed the roof out with my foot and got it mostly straighten out

Started working on the engine and checking the health of it. For the most part everything looked really good and the car was taken care of very well. Compression wasnt the best and looks like it may be leaking compression between cylinders 2-3, but should be drivable for now until I pull the head and fix it. I removed all the aftermarket gauges, stereo, and alarm, and all the wiring for all of it because it was really badly wired and routed.

after removing the alarm, and putting a new fuel pump in, got the car running and not dying when giving it throttle

Removed all the rear panels, rear seats, and rear seat belts, and relocated the battery to the rear and put a new alternator in. Also replaced the fuel filter, the old one actually had brown shit coming out of it when i took it off, and I put about 10 gallons of 93, now it fires right up.

Pulling the car apart, redoing the entire wire harness, rebuilding the engine currently, and remounted the intercooler and made a new bracket to hold it up
