This WORKS! Thanks Stan.For the stink...
Vodka in a spray bottle
spray down all cloth surfaces
Roll up the windows and park it in the sun a couple days.
My wife ran a used car lot for years, this was the best method they found to remove smell

Why haven't you checked the codes yet? The OBD1 will tell you what they are. At any rate you have a LOT of work ahead of you. Also replace the brake fluid and bleed the brakes.
To remove the tint get some 409 cleaner and a black garbage bag. Spray the tint with the 409 and cut the plastic garbage bag to roughly the size of the window and stick it on top of the 409. Leave it in the sun 15 mins then peel the tint off in one piece and hardly have any residue to scrape.
ETA: to your second note.... that's smart actually, I hadn't even thought about simply bleeding the brakes. Who knows if the PO knew how to properly do it. It won't cost me a dime and I can do it in a few minutes. Thanks for that!!
Sounds like you need to practice self controlThanks!! Yes, I heard this the other day and was wondering what it was! And, I will definitely look into the rod.
Thanks! .....and, oh, don't worry, no one touches my vehicles except me (aside from gears. I don't mess with gears haha).
WOW, this is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much for this info!
If you knew how stressful nursing school is, I promise you'd realize that this is 100% not click bait. I'm so overwhelmed with school, hospital rotations and the stuff I need to finish on my other projects that adding this new problem to the whole equation was the last thing I needed.... which is why I'm so grateful for everyone's responses!
Thanks guys!!! I'm stoked to try this!
If you read my original post, I listed the codes right from the start: 25, 26, 28. I searched and a lot of people said that these sensors don't go quick, so by the time the CEL pops, they are long gone. So, I figured I might as well change them both and ordered new o2 sensors. I just got them tonight! I'll install them tomorrow and clear the CEL and check it again.

Definitely bleed brakes, cost nothing, but don't expect to do it in five minutes.
Do a search, bleeding brakes on an 80 is a bit tricky because of the LSPV

Ha! I mean, don't we all? I actually have pretty good self control on most things, but, like all humans, I have a weak spot... and projects are definitely one of them. I haven't owned a TV for almost a decade, so I like to fill my free time with things to do.
IF he non-ops it it has to come off the street or they will tow it alwayCan't you register it in CA as non-op and not worry about it for a bit? As far as the front wipers and rebuilding the front end the kit from Cruiser Outfitters is fine. If I remember the marlin crawler axle seal has been known to leak in the 80 series.

X2 - Marlin inner seals leaked on my 1991 3fe. OEM solved that.I did the marlin kit and the inner seals started leaking pretty quickly after install. Nice kit otherwise.
Got the water pump yesterday... are these marks normal? I'm assuming it's a Toyota remanufactured unit that they ground the original ID marks off, just wondering if that's pretty common.
Also... what's the best practice with the paper gasket? Use it? Toss it and use RTV? Or use it with RTV?
