First, I hope the picture attachments come through on this post.
I wanted to communicate a Thank You to all on this site who's knowledge & input have helped me restore a car back to running order.
A special note of thanks to V2Rocket.

And to all just starting on this journey, making these cars run is possible.

Although it took 4 months of on and off weekends, I was able to bring a car back to life that had been in a garage since 2001. With the knowledge on this site I was able to change the Sensors, all of the Belts, Diagnose Fuel & Electrical issues, and refurbish many other mechanical aspects of the car.

It is possible. I just wanted to share what can be done.

Great to hear and good job getting it going! Did you post more pics of the car, inside and out, on the site? We all like to look at pictures...

I cannot tell, but is your car sunroof delete? Very good save!

Well done.

As an aside...while being pushed to handling limits, your car will undoubtedly over-steer in its current configuration. If that is indeed the case, leave the front end alone and lower the rear end 25-30 mm via the spring plate eccentrics.

Happy motoring...

Yes, solid roof (no sun roof). I was able to find the build sticker and the only other options were leather seats (which are in great shape - no rips or splits, Front & Rear stabilizer bars, and a stereo (which was long gone)

Thank you. That will be on my "To Do" list. Right now I'm working on sourcing interior carpet. The previous owner let it set in a garage for 16 years, and mice got in and ruined the carpet. He had a cover in the back hatch and they lived in that and the spare tire well. ALL of the carpet had to go. I had to remove one of the door panels, remove all of the mouse bedding inside of it, and then take apart the window regulator and rebuild it. It took over a month of cleaning and disinfecting the car. It's currently stripped down to the floor pans on the inside. I have to replace the sound deadening / insulation in the back. (But it runs great now).

In 84 there was no sunroof delete option, that year sunroof was the option.
