The wiring would be number one on my list. I would get it done while I was waiting on my skid plate. I went with peerless skid plate/HIK. I no longer worry about my oil pan. Source some carpet and a shift boot and run it like that for a while. I personally like the color. You have a CD player. Winter is coming so you don't have to worry about A/C. If you don't have LSD I would put that high up on the to do list over the winter. Just clean it up and figure out what you like. But I would seriously work on the wiring, that looks like a mess that is going cause you issues. Do you have a bunch of lights on, on your dash? Does everything work like ABS and CEL? I live in PA, if you need any help with your wiring.

Great, another Delphin in the Lehigh Valley ;-). I think I have a late model valence you can have. It needs a little love but the price is right.
Your car should have a LSD, should. My 87 is has a 3.73 LSD which is why I say that. I don't have too much free time but could lend a hand with some stuff if you need something.
Clean up the wiring, look for a set of weaves or bottle caps (might have a line on caps) and run snows for winter and lower it in the spring.

I'm gonna tell you what I wish I had listened to when I was 17.
You've got a wicked car right there and you're 17 years old. Fix all the stupid little things and don't worry about things like bumper swaps, more low, tarboz and other shit you really don't need to be thinking about right now.
Clean up the wiring, get some decent carpet and install it, check for cracked/worn out rubber suspension bushes and subframe mounts, give it a wash and wax, detail it and save your money. I know that it probably seems like having the fastest car in town is important and obtainable goal right now, but it's not, especially at your age.
Fix all the little stuff, save money and take it to the track once you're ready. You'll really be shocked how much you don't know and it will keep you from trying out stupid shit on the street.
Just remember, all the guys with S54s, E30M3's, 500 hp turbo cars and prestine show pieces all have 10, 20, 30, years on you. Don't compare yourself or your cars to others becuase that's just a 1 way ticket to never being happy with what you have.
Basically, keep it simple, keep it realistic, and have some (safe) fun with it.For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!Originally posted by mbonanniI hate modded emtree, I hate modded cawrz, I hate jdm, I hate swag, I hate stanceyolokids, I hate bags (on cars), I hate stuff that is slowz, I hate tires.
I am a pursit now.

oh, if I could go back in time.. I'd kick myself in the face for doing a V8 swap when my car had a perfectly capable (and interesting) motor.

In general you shouldn't compare your car/stuff to anyone else's though. Be an individual.- Josh

I would definitely echo others and say clean up that engine bay (wiring) and get some sound deadener and carpet.. Also you will be shocked as to how much road noise comes through that shifter. Plug it with some foam and tape and a cover and enjoy the silence. Of course, maintenance and safety first will take you farther with this car than mods for looks.
