Go through the brakes, another $500 maybe, change all fluids $100. For around $4k you have a respectable driver! Who knows, but for sure you'll have a lot of fun and guaranteed to learn something. A whole lot cheaper that just about anything else you'll ever do. Or go buy a new Chevy, spend $40k and in 8 years you can sell it for $3500 to a local college girl.

Seems like he already has it running. The motor was locked up (i.e.: stuck) but added some oil and it goes real fast now.
I think the rest of your advice is pretty spot-on for this level of car. I do question your definition of 'respectable' though!!
