Should I change the spark plugs?

Have an 87 Corsica with something over 155K miles. Unsure, because the odometer (and speedometer ) doesn't always work.

Has the rear axle of a Beretta, replacement hood, windshield, driverside door, a tin foil and cpntact paper headlight assembly, muffler and exhaust system with more jb weld and muffler patch than metal, exhaust is held to car with 14 gauge copper ground wire, nonoperating windshield washers, rear doors leak (one is dented in about a foot), leaky head gasket, radio that is always on with bit of xacto blade wedged in the power button assembly (two blown speakers in the front are the only ones working), and that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Got new rear brakes on it though, done the front brakes, put a new radiator in, new blower motor, thermostat, and had the wire packs for 2 & 3 cylinerds replaced, along with some suspension stuff (like in the interests of staying alive, not performance).

Oh, here's a beauty pic of the car, eh?

Hey that looks like mine, gonna have to do the ladderthing, that is cool.

Had to take the ladder to brother and sister in laws house. Was kind of inconvenient in the apartment.

Had the ladder from doing cable....28 ft extension ladder. Scratched the roof up real good (not that it matters, the thing is a rustbucket anyway).

The Haynes manual is pretty handy to have for an older car. Hopefully will have a newer vehicle by New Years-ish. I'm hoping for 4 years old at the most....my wife bought that car like 3-4 years ago, so most of the damage was done already. I could do much better maintenance if it wasnt falling apart (literally--the fram is rust--jacking it up is a lot of fun--pretty much have to use wheel ramps now).
