Name's Jevon, I'm from Georgia and go to college in Michigan, way up in the Keweenaw. My '90 lx was left sitting in the Georgia sun for about 7 years by a family friend not driven and neglected with clutch and brake issues (lost track of how many wasps nests we found in the thing, there was even one in the tail pipe), but worst of all, the previous owner painted it with a PAINTBRUSH!! 
While on break from college last May I went home and went to work on it with my dad. Got the clutch, breaks, and gas tank done while there but didn't finish by the time I had to travel back to Michigan in June for work and school, so he finished it up himself and drove it to Michigan for me in December. Unfortunately, one of the cylinders died on his drive up here which we attribute to failure to replace the old spark plugs and wires.
Car's been running on three cylinders and burning oil ever since but I drove it very little this past semester. Never got to drive it while fully functional
Here's the list of parts replaced to get it back up and running:
Clutch master cylinder
Clutch slave cylinder
^(These two took the longest, we really struggled with bleeding the clutch to remove all air out of the system.)
Brake master cylinder
Front brake pads
Front brake rotors
Repaired broken wheel stud on passenger side.
Radiator
Battery
Timing Belt
Serpentine belt
Gas tank (old one had a hole in it, PITA to replace!)
Fuel pump
Tires
Windshield (old one cracked)
Snow tires (My school, Michigan Tech, was the #1 snowiest school in the country this year)
Front bumer (damaged)
Rear bumper (damaged)
Driver's side mirror
Radio
I believe that's it, I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting.
I'm in the process of having an H22 swap done. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=206654
In the beginning:
Paint job done right in the works (big time props to my dad):
The car when delivered:
New windshield from safelite
The car today:
