Arrow Need some advice for my 88-90 cam....

Okay, I've recently been given the 88-90 camry LE but has a '91 engine in it since my mother destroyed the original engine in it when I specifically told her to put oil in ol' girl. I have my concerns about the suspension. It sits rather low for all the other camry's I see rolling around. The car is in great condition but with only minor parts (At least the overdrive and power button works ) I need to get. Also, what can I do to modify the car.....also I'm a sophmore in college, can't be too pricy but for this car it might be worth since I grew up with ol' girl.

Will post up pics later.....

Thanks....I just did that, sorry that I still ain't got any pics. My camera phone ain't working rite but I will get some pics this weekend for sure. I just got everything straight about the can height and all. The mechanic, who's my step dad said that everything is fine, it just sits low. I guess it's because it is an LE.

Now, I got to figure out what I should do with my engine.......
