Default 95 gs 300

Sooooo, I'm new to the forum. Getting my 95 GS 300 tomorrow for $2800. Mileage 159k. Has 5 problems that my boy can fix...cracked front windshield due to the snowstorm that just passed (I live in New York), left brake bracket needs to be changed, shocks and no radio. I'm going to have fun with this car. Starting a new thread and will keep you guys updated. What else should I add to the things to do list (most important)

Just have to loosen the bolts on the end of the shock, then the rear side slides off the braket under the rear deck. The shocks work fine, but unlike the stock ones the have no stoppers, so if dont make up somthing to keep them on the pin, they'll keep sliding of like mine.lol

Change oil and filter, have coolant flushed. You dont know how long its been since it has been changed, and is cheap to do.

Im in Brooklyn as well. Yea it was hard as hell. I only saw 2 on craigslist and 1 on eBay. I wasn't even going to get a 1st
Gen. I was planning on geEtting a 2nd gen but it was too much for me to work up in one month. I'll be starting the Fdny academy next month so why not settle for a first gen. VIP it. And sell it and triple the selling price. Check on eBay tho. There's a white one. Has a cracked driver side mirror. Going for 3200 I think.
