MI My FC buildup thread

Just picked her up yesterday,guy said he traded his TII for it parents say not to mess with anything on it.
- 86' SE
- Sunroof
- 2+2 seating
- Manual
- Engine is completely stock
- Brand new (performance?) flywheel
- came with extra manual transmission
- Brand new Master Cylinder in the box still
- Brand new brakes,but possible leak
- needs some work around the quarters
- guy said he installed some new bushings to the shifter so theres no play whatsoever
-Starts up,but seems to miss,but when you engage the clutch it idles perfect,brother says its something to do with the transmission and the clutch
- I might be selling the rims soon or i might just get some new tires for it
