Great job, and that car is a time capsule.
The first car I ever owned was a '93 Grand Am four door, 4-cylinder, with a manual transmission. Bought a used one in maroon my Senior year of college.
After driving it for a couple years I was quite shocked by how poorly it was built. You could feel the body flex on hard cornering. The headlights would dim when the AC kicked on. The interior pieces on the dash were so loose the pieces rubbing on each other sounded like a flock of birds were trapped inside the dash. On some roads it made it difficult to talk to passengers. Even with the AC off, it topped out at 95~98 mph on a flat Texas highway. I bought it with about 20K miles and by the time I traded it in with 90K miles, it was done. Just about everything was worn out.
When I traded it in, my wife actually cheered it was gone.
