Good find. Always glad to see another 2-door getting saved, especially a 29 year old model that looks to be in great shape. These WD21s are pretty bullet proof. With regular maintenance, it can easily run for another 200K miles. You're probably right that the ticking noise is from broken manifold studs. At that mileage, you also want to make sure that the timing belt has been replaced. (Mine's got an automatic tranny, so can't help with the MT question.)

Nunya may technically be right, but where's the fun in that? This is like the Ship of Theseus paradox. In a nutshell, does a ship that had been restored by replacing every single wooden part remained the same ship? Or even simpler, if your grandfather's axe had both the head and handle replaced, is it really the same ax? So you can call it a Hardfinder, a Pathbody, or you could even call it Bob!

I tried the lower-price ones, and ended up replacing them after a week because they couldn't hold up hatch or glass. Check out StrongArm lift supports - I got mine from Amazon, but they can be found in a lot of places. For the hatch, StrongArm 4758 (x2) For the glass: StrongArm 4815 (L) and 4816 ® They're $18-20 each. I've had them for about 18 months and haven't had any issues.

Congrats on growing the stable! I've seen a lot of Pathy's around here lately, but I don't think I've ever passed one of yours!
