I found the coolant leak. It was coming from the water pump. The thing was shot, and I spent the day today replacing it. My first time attempting anything of the sort, so it took quite a while, but the new one is in, and I'm just waiting to get my hands on a vice so that I can compress the piston that tensions the timing belt, and put it back in.
The A/C compressor was also shot, I would like A/C, but it's not a huge deal. I'm not willing to spend the kinda money needed though just to add/keep weight on the car. So the A/C system is almost done being ripped out now. I'm waiting on some parts to finish putting everything back together. Needed to replace a few hoses, and the rubber seals that go on the center section of the timing belt cover. I'm going to be out of town for a week, so I can't finish this up until I get back I'm going to do a big engine engine-bay cleaning while I have everything apart, so hopefully it'll start looking a bit better. I've also replaced the air and fuel filters, going to change the oil/filter this weekend. The ATF filter look extremely old, and I want to replace it, but the dealer doesn't know squat about it since it was apparantly an aftermarket add-on option. I've also got to figure out what's leaking on one of the brakes. Brake fluid is coming out at the rear passenger side wheel area, so that needs attending to. The previous owner had done some brake work, so first thing is to make sure that everything was put together properly. The rear dif has a leaking side seal on the passenger side. I got a new seal, just need to crack it open and replace it. This isn't really a big deal, since I had intended to replace the gear oil anyways. I've got almost all of the electrical gremlins worked out. I've got an airbag light on with a code 11 being reported. I'm planning on removing the air bag system anways, so again this isn't a big deal. The only real electrical thing is the common auto-belt problem on the drivers side. I've made some good headway on it, and think it'll be all done in another day or so of work. Besides that, gotten all lights working, replaced the stereo, installed one of two new speakers in the doors, sitll got the other one to go. I also need to replace the transmission resistor that's behind the battery, which will just take a few minutes. I think that's everything for the update. My goal is to have this car up and running for some fun daily driving within the next month. It shouldn't be to hard to do that since it's already driving fine. Also done a lot of interior cleaning. The thing is cleaning up rather nicely. The seats will eventually be going though, in favor of some street style corbeau's. EDIT: Oh, also replaced the power antenna. It was broken off, and the previous owner had purchased a new antenna, but never installed it. That was a royal PITA. And I cleaned/de-yellowed my headlights. Took a fair amount of wet sanding, but they look beautiful now
