Hi there Terry, I did the same thing as you, bought a car cheap with the hope that big repair bills would stay away. The car is an 86 9kt and I would say that I have spent between $3-5K on repairs in the last 1 1/2 and $800 for the car. At times I wish the car would throw a rod or tranny just so I can stop adding new parts to car thats body is about the fall off. Still drive pretty good, but its only a matter of time. Next time I will do a more through inspection of the car before I buy one.
Here is my list of repairs, all wear items but still expensive to replace.
Clutch
rack and tie rods
all new front bushings
ball joints
heater core/blower
motor mounts
brakes/rotors
tires
