I've been jamming a stick of the right size under the hood to apply some tension so when I pull the lever inside the hood will pop. Similar idea, different end of the problem... Gonna have to try greasing everything and adjusting those stops

Hi! I actually joined last week but haven't had a chance to post yet. My name is David, and about two weeks ago a friend gave me his 1991 Pathfinder SE. It's automatic and seems to have been loaded once upon a time - power everything, adjustable suspension, etc. Now it is missing some pieces and in need of a lot of TLC. It still has the original engine, with almost 300k miles! The previous owner replace the transmission about 100k ago. I'm a total Pathfinder newbie, so hopefully I can find some help here. Here's the rundown of it's problems: Needs new shocks Nerf bars are rusted (will probably just remove them) Passenger door panel has been removed. I have it, but most of the clips are missing and the holes they go in are torn. Rear left fender has been hit This makes the lift gate rattle. Rust in various places Something is in the vents making it rattle when I try to run the fan. Various gauges and switches not working. Can't open doors with the key... if I lock it I have to open the liftgate and crawl in from the back. Various interior trim pieces missing My goal is first to just make it a reliable vehicle, then work on making it more off-road capable. I'm also thinking about swapping out the engine. I will have to do all this as I have money (I'm self-employed as of a month ago, and budget is "constrained" at the moment). Like I said, it's rough, but hey, it was free (and I needed a truck)! If anybody has parts to sell/give away that sound like they might help please contact me! Also, I would appreciate any advice on what to do first as far as upping the capabilities off road, on a budget. In the meantime I will be using the search button a lot. I am still learning a lot of things about working on vehicles, (late bloomer in this area) but have great help available from my dad and friends who are much more wrench-capable than me. I'm grateful I found this forum, hopefully I can contribute some as well as take.
