jump right into the big stuff, replace the sway bars with something better. only need basic tools, some jack stands and a friend and maybe a half a day.

This car is very easy to work on. I was like you when I bought this car, I had never worked on anything before other than to check oil and washer fluid.

First things I did was change out the sway bars and suspension....it took an entire weekend (friday evening into sunday evening) but it was worth doing, I learned a ton and it gave me confidence to work on other cars.

Beware though, changing the front sway bar is harder than smuggling a baby from a zoo if you attack it alone. The task itself isn't hard, its simply unbolt endlinks, remove bar, put new bar in, bolt endlinks on again. But I was doing it alone and taking that bar out took me like 2 hours.
