Finally thought to snap a pic of this heap. It's clearly very rough and beat up. But I do want to at least make it mechanically sound. I hate these stupid aftermarket wheels though, I've been looking for a set of any OEM wheels that came on these so eventually I'll get rid of these and get some new tires.
I've already installed all new rear brakes- shoes, hardware, drums, cyls, even the hard lines all the way up to the abs module. I had done the fronts including bearings 4 years ago when my granddad still owned it so the brakes are solid despite having a pulsating brake pedal now. I checked the runout the other day and it was only .003" but I'm guessing it doesn't take much. There's so much thickness left I may get them turned at some point. At least the pedal is firm now.
I'm going to turn my attention onto the front suspension/steering next. Looks like it's gonna be 600$ for inner and outer tie rod ends, pitman and idler arms, and I'm just gonna do the bit where you get new control arms with ball joints already installed. Everything is so rusty it's not going to be fun.
