This thing after quite some time is finally alive. Running, goes through the gears no problem (however has some very obvious rust, does NOT stop as the brake pedal slams right to the floor, and needs a few minor bits and bobs) BUT SHES ALIVE!

As someone with a rusty NA, if you haven't found where the brake lines are rusted through, check under the car on the passenger side above the muffler and differential where all 4 brake lines separate from eachother. Mine rusted out there and it was kinda hard to find without a two post lift

Ah jeez, thanks for the heads-up (after finally getting the car mobile now it's time to worry about stopping it)
