1990 1.8L SOHC 4WD Pro.
Purchased around 49K shows 68K miles now. Not driven for bad gas mileage and in need of major work before driven. Previous owner must not have known these things need service. Everything was original including air/oil filters
needs:
Timing belt
Brakes Fr
Struts F/R (rear freezes solid below 32 degs)
Oils due in 34 miles.
Oil pan seal(leaks)
CV joint Dr side.(will prolly change both tho)
Dr side mirror & 3/4 panel fixed(side swiped hit and run)
Rear diff leaks on pass. side.
Rear stabilizer bar(lost it in a corn field during thunder storm somewhere)
Rear calipers(arm that holds e-brake won't release on it's own, rusted)
Fuel filter(local parts house one has in/outs' facing wrong directions)
Carpet
and some other small odds and ends prolly.

Replaced/repaired
new light bulbs all around.
filters
plugs
wires
cap & rotor
brake rotors F/R
brake pads F/R
battery & cables
hard fuel lines under car(had been punctured and fixed with rubber hose)
pass side wheel studs(1 broke, 2 cross threaded, other just didn't have a lug nut and threads got damaged)
pass side tires(Fr had snakebite cuts in sidewall, Rr had large bubble in side wall)
Put Original style Fr door panels in(ones in it had been cut for speakers and had map pockets removed)
Put original style gear shift **** and boot in(others were aftermarket and didn't match rest of car)

The car was rode hard and put away wet when I got it. And not knowing how rare it was I didn't help in it's downward spiral into it's current condition. But I have seen the error of my ways. It is not a 76 Ford farm truck to be ran ***** out till the wheels fall off then go get another. It is no longer what we use to chase down jack-rabbits when we've run out of ammo. Now I'm in the process of bringing this old Pro back to as near perfect mechanical condition as possible. There shall be some improvements along the way. Hopefully a full GTX or GTR swap. But for now I'll be working on restoring it to original. As there are many who have never seen one of these and I'd like to be able to show them what it looked like from the showroom floor.
