Only rusted out part was the exhaust so I used that as an excuse to replace with a pace setter header and magnaflow muffler, and while I was at it put in a Weber 32/36 carburetor. While I've got a better bottom end she's still slow but I don't really care about speed in a 30+ year old inline 4.

Lines, solenoids, rotors, and calipers replaced on right side. Ran 6 of those years with a check engine light on (EGR valve malarkey). One thermostat, two belts, one tensioner. Had it for 13 years. I miss that bugger. Went all over the US one year. I cried when it was scrapped. Transmission went out finally :(
