It sounds like you are going to have to put a lot of money into the car to fix it - frame, brakes, clutch, exhaust and surprises - so maybe the difference between buying for $700 and $1000 doesn't m

After you get the toe-in/out right, whether by left-and-right tie-rod adjustment or just one of them (not preferred), you can of course pull the steering wheel off, and put it back "centered" so tha

The blue sticky substance is not for gasket purposes. Your brake pads came with some of this in a plastic tube, and it goes between the metal back of the pad and the piston that drives the pad. It a
