Nice looking car, I love the color combo. Looks like you got a good car at a good price. Congrats. I had an '88 and loved it. I think you'll find this '84 is a great car.

You may want to replace the 4 rubber brake lines, flush the brake fluid, check the rubber fuel line that runs across the back of the engine between the 2 fuel rails. You can't really see it normally, and it has a tendency to get old and hard and then crack and start spraying a fine mist of fuel around the engine compartment, it's only $50 and about 20-30 minutes to replace.

Replace those shocks, probably all 4 if you are doing 2. The tires look good, but you should have wider tires in the back than in the front, that's not clear from the ad. If you've got 225 50 all around then you'll probably want slightly skinnier tires in the front to get the balance back.

Again, beautiful car. Enjoy.
