bought/will buy your first car?

My name is Millie Kentner, I realized that I had not introduced myself to the community properly. This is my introduction and a little fun discussion thingy. I bought my first car (1990, 240sx hatchback)
It is going to be a project, but I recently got a job, and am excited to get working on it.
This is for n00bs(like myself) and you Nissan Veteran.

The first few things I am going to do are small things. Some of these are things I have already done.

1. Of course, I replaced all of the faulty fuses in both fuse boxes.(under dashboard and hood)(found a short)
2. I am going to try to fix the short as soon as my first paycheck comes along.
3. I took off the duct tape that the car's previous owner had where a coupler was supposed to be on the intake.
4. I'm going to replace all of the tires. Especially because I recently ran over a nail.(lol)
5. I am going to install the horn mechanism.
6. I need to buy/fix the motor for the automatic seatbelts. This one I am not sure how to do, but I hear these things always malfunction.
7. It is in dire need of a paint job.....
8. I'm going to temporarily plasti dip the whole thing, and add the gloss finish.
9. Get a "real" paint job, as soon as I save up enough money.
10. This thing badly needs a tune up.

Post pics!
Don't post anything unnecessary, and no bashing, dammit. :snoop:

0. Cleaned the fuck out of it
1. Minor tune up crap (oil and filter, air filter, fuses, windshield wiper, spark plugs, interior lights)
2. Needed new shocks, so I ordered those with tein Stech springs
3. Brought it to a shop and had them recharge the AC
4. Rewired the shitty head unit to I could have sound
5. Scraped off the tint on the door windows so I could see
6. Changed out the water pump, front oil seal, and belt
7. Changed out the fuel filter
8. Replaced the front calipers, pads and rotors (which caused the rear to leak)
9. Replaced the rear calipers, pads and rotors (which caused the MC to leak_
10. Replaced the MC. and got an alignment

At this point the car was my DD, so I started getting random interior pieces like the sunroof cover, the trim around the vents a new steering wheel with working cruise buttons. This was all about a year ago when I picked the car up

This last 2 months I swapped out the front windshield since the original was pitted and had a scratch from a wiper on it. Swapped in some s14 seats and black carpet, got some floor mats. put in a test pipe since my cat was completely clogged up.

I also dropped some coin on a partial z32/5 lug swap (calipers and lines and rear hubs) so I gathered the rest of the stuff (front hubs, pads rotors) and also decided to do bushings also. Shit got expensive fast
