Rate my new beater car

2010 Nissan 157k, 5speed automatic paid 350.



-This is my second car (for backup).
-I live in Florida. This car was bought and driven in Florida its entire life (rust free).

Work I have done on it so far:
-Replaced 2 x O-rings on the power steering pump to hoses (fixed a leak)
-Replaced all brake fluid with dot 4 using a vacuum pump
-Cleaned and put some anti-seize on lube points on the rear drum brakes
-Drained and filled radiator with Honda anti-freeze x 2
-Mobil One oil and Mobil 1 oil filter, new drain bolt crush washer
-Power steering fluid replaced (approx 3 qts out, 3 new qts in, will use a turkey baster and keep replacing PS fluid in the coming months).'
-1 x Drain and fill on transmission, new crush washer on the drain bolt. Will do more drain and fills.
-Unlocked stuck car radio
-New key with chip (200$), was only given 1 x key
-I liked the hub caps that came on it, but one was missing. I did research, found the exact hubcap, and bought 8 x for spares
-wheel club for anti-theft

Parts on the way/work I'm waiting to do:
-Replace the passenger-side engine mount
-Replace 4 x sway bar links
-Replace Passenger side driver axle
-Replace front brakes/rotor
-Replace front wheel bearings/hubs
-New PCV valve
-4x new window trims
-New air filter, new cabin air filter
-New driver-side drive shaft seal
-Made appointment for window tints (all windows including strip on windshield. Getting high-grade nano ceramic tints)
-Phone holder and lighter/USB adapter with aux cable/USB charge cable
-New driver-side power door lock switch
-ceiling liner pins to fix sagging ceiling material
-engine degreaser and cleaning supplies to the detail engine bay
-seafoam spray
-CRC electronic cleaner to refresh map/MAF sensor
-Driver-side ABS sensor
- water pump and thermostat
-spark plugs
-Headlight restore kit
-I am going to buy a cheap vacuum kit/AC gauges and pressure/leak check and recharge the AC system
- new blower motor for air (makes clicking noise)
- body clip assortment set, missing some of those plastic clips in wheel wells and a few other places


Cliffs:
-Just lol if you can't do your own car work
-I got a steal on this car regardless of the list above. I'm just setting it up to be bulletproof as a backup car.
-If I didn't do all this myself, I'd be paying thousands in labor.

It’s a track car. They’re not really good for regular roads
