Any Nissan owners?, Pictures now up and video now up, and its epic Options

[HaysoosKreesto]

As soom of you know, I am the not proud owner of a 1989 Nissan Sentra. I love that car but Haysoos Kreesto it is one hell of a beater car.

It runs like a champ and has given me more miles then I thought it had left in it.

I was thinking about making this a "project" car. I have an interview in a week or so and if I land this government job I will have some job security, thus I'll have some income and an ability to up my car.

Was wondering if any nissan owners, or people who just know could give me some suggestions to do.

What I have on my list as possibilities:


A new Engine (it has nearly 140k on it and is looking at me saying "I'm ready to retire if your ok with that.")

New Shocks (mine right now still have some life but I'm sure that at some point, 140k have taken its toll on it.)

A new muffler (its starting to rust out and I'm concerned that I won't have enough back pressure to start the car soon)

New hoses (I replaced some hoses a while ago, but honestly don't trust em too much)

Replacing power steering if at all possible (it leaks, kind of a bitch to deal with oil stains)

Upgrade brakes (drum breaks, last legs)

Give him some new fluids (oil and power steering is always covered but I'm not quite sure when the last time I put any water, brake, transmission or any other.)

Replace fuel pump? (I see people do that so I figure it must have some functionality)

Clean the ****er (I am lazy so it is often dirty)

Get new tires (one has a gash in it so bad that I am afraid to push it past 40.)




What else should I do? If there are any people in my situation, I would absolutely appreciate advice on what to do, where to go, what to look at, who I should talk to, etc.

Ty all, Peace!

Do you really need that steering wheel bar thing? If it was my car I wouldn't be worried about it being stolen.

I live in the ghetto. As you may have seen in my pictures. My car is EXTREMLY easy to steal, trust me I've tried. Its just a minor deterent against people who don't like me. If they really wanted to steal my car, it wouldn't stop them I know, but, since there is an old school beamer right next to me, I want them to choose that car instead of a quick carjack that is my vehicle.

you need to replace that tire ASAP before the tread separates from the tire and you kill someone or yourself

Yeah I already did. It took me a long time to save up for a set of tires but I got them on finally. By the way the tear was on top of the threads, so as long as I keep it at low speeds, it would be fine. It has since been replaced, but yes this was my daily driver tires because of how epic-ly poor I am.

wow.

Thanks, thats what I was going for.

I actually forgot to post up my rusted through tailpipe, but it was in the video so I thought I didn't have to.
