welcome to the boards.
My truck is the same, just off a year, 91 5spd 2.4 with power nothing. Still one of the most fun vehicles I've owned. definitely takes a beating and keeps going

My original plan (still is my plan, money just keeps getting tighter and tighter) was to bag it, but recently I have started just treating it like a truck and seeing what it will pull/push/haul and it's done pretty decent in my opinion. I'm sure you'll have fun with it.
