    Turned out it was the ground that touched went from the bulb to the frame had come lose and was touching one of the positive wires for the running lights.

    i should have elaborated, im very new to cars, and i really dont want to fry or screw up any electronics on this car (im 18). i would rather bring it to my friend who is a mechanic and can help me diagnose this. I checked the grounds that i could find and cleaned them, that didnt fix the problem. i took off the connections on the front and rear lights and made sure they were on right, that did nothing. i just want to play it safe and not make an expensive mistake.

    I'm very new to electrics and the wiring on these cars, where would the ground be for the fuse?

    Just looks, it's blown! I think I have some replacements at home, I'll let you know if that fixes it. Thanks!

    Turn signals work fine but the front and rear running lights on the driver side don't illuminate, any idea why this would happen?

    It hadn't sat for too long but I'll definitely check them out. As for the carpet/interior (the headliner is pretty shot too) where can i get replacements for both? Also if you know, is it hard to do a "reskin" on these interiors, I really love this car in black with the chrome accents and was thinking of doing a black or darker brown interior to match(if I can, and my wallet won't hate me). Thanks -Jaden

    Great advice thankyou, I was going to buy a kit of liquid moly from FCP is that ok or is VR-1 the holy grail of oil for the 2002. Definitely want to learn about the timing on this car, so much different than modern ones so I'm very interested. Otherwise everything should be good since most parts we replaced a year or two before, just might need a few adjustments/upgrades.

    Haha, probably a good start

    Good point, do you have any recommendations as to painting these cars? Is it something I can do in my driveway or should I pay a shop to do it?

    It's been somewhat parked, my dad did alot of work to it a year or two back before handing it over too me, I mentioned above most of the stuff he did. I'll check the heater core out, he did say that the blower motor was replaced and I turned it on yesterday to a surprising strong gust of air so that's a good sign. I saw tape residue near the seams around the sunroof so that's my guess, going to seal it up tomorrow before it rains.

    Will do! My father had worked on the car before passing it onto me, mechanically he said it is pretty good new brakes, master cylinder, etc. Definitely going to replace all the older looking hoses and will look into a cover.

    Hello all! This is my first post on here and I hope that you guys can help me bring this car back to life over the summer. I'm 18 and a freshman at msu, my dad has had this car for years, he did some engine work to it and it runs well but that is pretty much it. It needs a good amount of body work and interior work as there was a leak and the carpet is toast. What should I do first? I'm getting it registered soon so I can start to atleast drive it and get a feel for the car, but how should I go about restoring the exterior, it has all the trim and there isn't any rot from what I can see. Should I just strip the car now and paint it, or get it mechanically perfect first? Thanks alot, Jaden. (I also added some photos of the red 74 that my dad is fixing up)
