Only local shop I've found, so far, that will do rust repair. Should I go to them I'm going to take another members advice and ask them to do the repairs and I'll go to another shop for paint.
RR quarter panel where it meets the bumper, ends of both rocker panels and PS strut tower in the engine bay. Doors and hatch are ok *knocks on wood*
Yeah and with gas creeping up to $4 a gallon I need to get it fixed asap. Ruled out the tank as I don't smell it in the cabin and O2 sensors since I have no CEL. Maybe a cat? I did check two of my plugs late last week and they were carboned up and gap was a bit off so I'm going to replace them as well. I've also noticed lately that the car hesitates when starting from a stop...not a lot but today I noticed that it felt like it wanted to stall out yet idling at a stop is just fine (right around 500rpms consistently).
hahahahahaha...nope I have a slushbox.

Nope, in D the entire time. I know it's no the best for mpgs but I used to get 40-45 miles before the needle would move, now I'm getting that over the first 1/4 tank? Last fill-up the gas light had just come on and I had around 250 miles to the tank.

you def need an extra set of hands when installing the TB. sometimes it just seems like the belt is one tooth too short

Its easy once you know how to do it, ive done mine 3 times and a friends a few times. I just ine up the cams first, get everything on the ribbed parts, then slide it over the tensioner once I have it turned all the way loose with an allen wrench. I can prob do one in like 40 mins lol...its sad that ive had that much practice
In one of the many many times trying different ways, I'd try and line the cams first. But, when I'd put the belt on, there was too much slack in between the cams, so by the time I'd put the tensioner on (or tighten it up) the slack would come out and move the cams! Or, I'd get them close, then with tension, the crank would move. A few times, everything looked ok, but the cam marks were juuuuuusst a **** hair off. I'm not even sure how I finally got it. lol
Its been raining since last thursday, today i washed the car at the shop and the 2-3yr sealant is holding up quite well. water beads up nicely, and drips and evaps within seconds w/ no waterspots
