Thanks Bean, I'll try pulling the instrument cluster off this weekend and cleaning the connections.
I'm just going to leave the clear coat for now, the car doesn't have any body panel rust so I'm not worried about that, maybe I'll deal with that once I fix the other issues (if that ever happens).
I don't know when I'm going to do the rear bearings, the car doesn't fit all the way in my garage so I would have to do it in one day, but I should do them soon, they're getting loud.
I think the car is running 100%, I'll try doing a 0-60 test.
I got the car for $1000 from my neighbor and I've been driving it for three weeks now and its really great!
