Cars and lack of tools do NOT work together. Either stop screwing around and get some tools before you do anything, or sell it and buy a Geo Metro…

The amount of money you’re going to need to put in for decent tools and paint will be astounding… And avoid PA tools as well, at the very least, invest in some decent Mastercraft or Craftsman tools.

PS. buy my 5 speed parts

In the OP’s defense, obviously he doesn’t have as much time or money as you. If he did, I’m sure he would’ve done all that by now. Maybe he has other hobbies too unlike most of us here. The car takes up all our money so we can’t have any other hobbies.

Fair enough, but in my own defense i don’t really have a whole lot of time or money either, i just tend to budget well. I work an average of 12 hours a day Monday - Friday, and i don’t live at home so i have all the fun bills to pay so its not like all my money goes to my car. I just figured an update should have been posted at a later date with more accomplished. Good luck with your re-build. I worked in a body shop for a couple years so if you need any advice or run into a stump post up.

No matter how long it takes, just do it. Eventually, the car will reach the stage where people start to admire it. In the mean time, make it happen, I personally know what it’s like to rebuild a car with no job. \>.\<
