I HAVE NO EXTRA PARTS what you see is what i have, Anything Missing?
INTERIOR has been removed to get rid of that nasty ass water damaged carpet, (driver window was busted so car got flooded) and get a look at the floor.
I got the front right Turn signal already (Junkyard 15$ Found it through Car-part.com). I can fix body damage eazy I have experience at that (shh dont tell my father :P )
It looks like theres a oilleak on top of the cylinder head. I guess thats a gasket problem. I dont think engine needs to be taken out to fix that?
I doubt the oil has been replaced for a long time, So question is "Is there any sort of chemical that i could use to clean engine well? Some sort of additive? Should i repair car then change oil? Heard I should remove oil pan on bottom to get all that chunks of old oil out?
Previous owner seems to have RIPED off the TIMING belt cover and possibly some under carrige protector? I will try to get a timing belt cover from somewhere... junkyard maybe?
Previous owner replaced Clutch disk or whatever less then 20,000 miles before he quit driving it.
Tires dont seem that great but its last thing to fix. Brakes will be repaced as well. Maybe Brake ROTORS? I dont wanna die LOL
Flood damage to interior due to brocken window but i could care less. I will replace uphostery as much as I can and reuse the seats probably with some seat covers. Damaged paint (I think original paint is Super Red 2). but thats all after car drives right?
Is there anything wrong with the car other then visual stuff and what i mentioned? Any problems these cars are expected to have?
And most important part of corse Where do I buy PARTS without giving an arm and a leg?
Thanks!

besides the interior it looks like you'll have a decent A to B car after a couple months. Definitely get that timing belt cover. Yes, you can replace the valve cover seal without removing the engine if that's what you're talking about. After a little soap and water I think this project will look much more optimistic!
You really don't want to do that. Save the money and just swap in the 4efte. You can't possibly imagine the fun it brings to pass Mustangs at half track.
Yeah, definitley don't try to do the electric turbo thing, turbos don't really work that way. There is alot more science to it than just pumping extra air into the throttle, and an electric motor small enough to fit in there really doesn't create enough p.s.i. to make a difference anyway. They got it right the first time with the 4efte. If I had the $800-1000 dollars to spend I'd be right there with TercelGTS (he's a little partial to turboed engines...just a little)
Trust me I have to work hard for the money I make and there's not much to spare after the bills. That's the reason it takes so long to do a project. Notice my Paseo thread was started last spring. I can tell you so far the bill has made it past $1000.00 and very little new parts. We don't even want to talk about how much TAZ is costing!
Partial yes, boost is like a drug addiction. You just can't get enough to be satisfied.

Ordered timing belt covers for engine. Diddnt get yet i missed UPS but they showed up next day. 35$ covers + 20$ shiping. So 65$
Eh i was just gonna try, my dad has a few Electric Motors Brushless and a fans for them,(for radio control airplanes) i can totaly make a electric turbo cheap or free, i will try it and let u know. It doesnt look that promising, but it drains preaty low electricity and if that gives me extra gas milage thats great. Its max thrust is around 2 pounds i believe. If that forces into a tube or something that gives a bit of compression i think. (It also makes an awesome high pitch whine, im not sure how, but i saw a video online how they connected the electric controller to the Gas Pedal thing at the engine, to automaticly turn on turbo)
Im a student so i cant afford mods either. Worst part is i live in the city so i have no where to mess with the engine. One can only do so much on the street.
I love turbo too but i dont realy know enough for those kinds of modifications as well. I will have to hug and love my 3EE engine for now.

I know brother, that's why we all drive these cars in the first place, cuz we're on a budget. I wasn't trying to insult at all...just making a little joke.
Think about this, it's making 2lbs in a tube that has no pull. Attach a vacuum cleaner to the other end of tube and see if it can keep up, much less make any boost. And engine pulls way more cfm than a vacuum. A turbo that makes 9psi in a running wide open throttle engine turning 7000rpm would make 40psi in the tube and blow the dirt out the vacuum.
Another thing, it's hard to find an electric motor that free spins above 28,000rpm. Turbos operate over 60,000rpm under load.
It's not feasable.
Silverhawk I wasn't bothered. In fact I snickered about it.
