Thanks for the heads up. I can see how and why that would happen, lots of joints and moving parts in there.
I crawled under the front end to see what was worn out, and much to my suprise, there are McPhereson struts in the front end. Which is kind of cool, cause these front end set ups are a breeze to work on, and they have fewer parts, guess I can rule out upper contol arm bushings.......
Needs a tune up. I grabbed the dist. cap and got the shit shocked out of me. Bad sign.
Moved the broken hood hinge pieces around a little so the hood would sit flat. That made the car look 100x better.
The exaust leak is horrible. And doofus used like a whole tube of that muffler putty on it to try and seal it. At least it breaks loose easily.
Mechanically, that's really it. Brakes need bled, but they are all brand new on all 4 corners.
Cosmetically, exterior isn't too bad other than the hood issue, some paint scuffs, and some of the chrome needs to be reinstalled. There is no trunk seal, which I will be ordering asap. Gotta keep the water out.
The interior isn't too bad other than alot of the metal is pot metal, so there are some pits in places. Some interior trim needs to be reinstalled, but overall it was just dusty as hell from sitting in a garage for so long. And it needs a new dash cap, but even it isn't completely destroyed or anything.
