Default my new old vette

well I just bought my first vette. It is a 1988 red convertable. The price was right BUT...

alarm not working correctly
radio seems to function but no sound.
left headlight gets hung up and won't open unless I raise the hood, then works fine. (new bushings maybe?)
anti-lock brake (ABS) light is on.
when i fist take off, rythmic squeek from left rear tire area. (u-joint maybe or wheel bearing)
now light banging from left rear tire upon HARD acceleration.
and last but not least, the dash dissappears ocassionally, seems to be temperature related, been cold the last couple of days, no problem but a few days ago when it was warm out, it just dropped out, no insterment gauges at all. seems dim during the day and a lot brighter when I turn on my lights.
still all in all, its a vette and looks pretty good.
should have some pics soon, and my repair manual so I can get started I guess.

ohh no A/C as well compressor blown.

but the price was too low to pass up.
Some of the work i can do, but in some places i am in over my head.

but i am still proud of my vette
