yeah man start with what's busted. in weather like this i'd just get a shop to check it out for ya and do what you can on your own. i just bought mine a few weeks ago too so im really struggling. hard as ***** to fix **** when your hands are so numb you cant even grip a nut. sit back and wait for warm weather unless you have a big garage and space heater

Kinda vague.

Basic maintenance or potential mods?
What do you want from the car?
Does it need anything?
Stock or some mods already?

Get on that rust before it spreads. Then get it oil-sprayed. Save up for a B series engine.
