Anyone interested in buying an '87 SE?

It's the light beige metallic and tan color combo. 5-speed. 236k but it runs super strong, synchos are all good with no grinding. All stock.

Just passed California smog 2 weeks ago, so it's good...

Agree with just do an oil and filter change. They 2 are compatible, for instance if you're on a road trip and have to top off -- of course, that's not ideal.

Not good, but it was just a couple of ounces it's nothing to panic about.

They ought to drain and refill. If they're stubborn, just do it yourself.

Please dispose of the old coolant properly.

Forget the brush. Use a toothpick and slowly and gently lay the paint into the scratch. It's better to underfill and go back over it a few times than to glob it in. You want to build up enough paint...

3rd. It's pretty big so might cost a bit more, but if a PDR guy can get to the spot after taking off the inner door panel, most if not all should come out.

Then you'll just need a new trim piece.
