1. fuel and engine temp gauges aren't working ...is this an easy fix?

Reach up under your dashboard and behind the gauges... takes some contortions and maybe a pillow on the front floors... see if there's a disconnected round plug back there about 1 1/2 inch diameter. If not, removing the instrument cluster is not all that hard. A junkyard one without the speedometer ought to be really cheap. The temp and fuel gauges rarely fail. Check all your fuses as well- fuseblocks are trouble spots in these cars. Any white corrosion- clean brass fingers and replace fuses with new (they're cheap).

2. The air filter was hose was not conected to the airflow unit....what kind of damage could this hav done to the fuel injection if driven this way for a while ...

Hopefully the engine didn't get much grit right into the intake... could damage the rings. A compression or leakdown test will confirm. Ask any garage. FI system will probably be fine, though it's *possible* to get a foreign object into the Air Mass Meter and that's fairly pricy if damaged.

3. when I start her up I get a thunk ....I saw an article that said to replace the bushings ....Do I replace the front bushings or the back ones

Engine mounts. See FCP Groton or your FLAPS... (Friendly Local Auto Parts Store). You need: (quotes from www.fcpgroton.com)- Replace all 3.
