Bucking Bronco - 92 MX3 GS

So here's the story on my MX3.
I purchased it March 29/06 for $200. not running and aware that it's hasn't moved in 2 years. The owner said it had rod knock and 2 days after the first sign of it, it wouldn't start. He could of said anything short of it burst in to flames and I still would have bought it
In the owners yard
Half of the interior had been ripped out to remove the stereo and subs in the back
After trying to fire the car a few times and the help of some people here I decided the timing was out and boy was it ever. I reset everything and it fired like it had been running the whole time, and then I heard the timing belt tensioner start to knock
yah I was happy.
I ordered the parts and fixed it. It starts everytime now and didn't even throw any codes
Next was the front brakes, new pads, 1 caliper and a brake hardware kit. I am waiting on new front rotors.
On May 8 the car became my daily driver, May 9 the alternator went. I expected this would happen and replaced it on the 10th and added some new ground wires.
I'v also installed part of my stereo and subs and a Clifford alarm
I'll post some new pics once I have the rest of the interior fixed and unplug the sunroof drains so my interior will stay dry
