PEDAL BICYCLE FTW
That LG4 looks very tired. Matter of fact, I think it got tired after 500 miles after it was placed in there in 1984

Sell the 84. Work a few years before you get your license. Take the money off the car sale, plus what you worked for, and buy a 4th gen. They'll be nice and cheap by that time, still run, and only need a rebuilt and polish. 
If you want the experience of working on cars, make your friends by the parts and help them bolt the stuff on their own cars.

take it off the lips, use paint stripper then u can polish the lips, hell u might be able to just sand the lips to polish them. also, take an old rag, cover the carb and dizzy(with a plastic bag), hose down the motor bay, take the rag and dunk it in some carwash soap, was down all the paint in the motor bay, rinse it, let it dry. the engine bay will look so much better

start w/ 250 or 400 grit, then move to 600, then 600 wet, then to like 1000 wet then to like 2000 wet, then use steel wool, and then use polish
if your gonna lose the ac... lose it all IMO and get a delete box make the bay look cleaner
and dont overestimate the brake caliper paint mod... its put like 100 hp into my lo3 LOL
