Things to do: Fix leaking valve cover gasket
Brake pads and shoes ($150 for cheap stuff, $250 for some good stuff, thats parts of course, no labour)
Timing Belt ($450 from my mechanic, included new waterpump, its recommended with the timing belt change)
Change Transmission Fluid, ( auto ) (Mine was manual, and it was $20/bottle of teh stuff, needed 2 and a bit to fill it up)
Oil Change ( of course ) ($30)
