Id been working on it with my dad since i was about 8 years old Great first car. Finally sold it to a restorer with 250k+ miles on it (estimated. Odo quit working at 217k).

A 1984 sumthing sumthing 4 cylinder manual.
A buddy and I wired in 16(!) speakers that I rescued from curbside trash.
Turning on the amplifier would make the windows rattle.
Eventually it would just about break 100mph on what were probably 10-11 inch rims.
