Update:
  • Headlights installed - they work! Thanks to Jim (Type954) for the surrounds. I will probably upgrade the sealed beam bulbs to H4 inserts, but that's not my top priority right now.
  • Scoured garage - no engine/transmission mounting bolts or washer--BUT, Dorkis come through again. Jazz has the engine bolts and washers, and Bill M has the transmission bolts.
  • Found exhaust gaskets from Vicegrip and will get today (they'll need a bit of modification) to complete the exhaust mounting (2-in, 1-out to the SS header/heat exchanger I installed this week)
  • Mounted coil (that took about 1 minute, but it takes up a line here )
  • Rebuilt the driver's side rear caliper. It was extremely clean inside, with no hang-ups. The passenger-side brake line did not want to come out, and I didn't want to break it off at this point, so the brake rebuild, at least for the rear, is declared "done."
  • New rotors on and calipers reinstalled.

Following Vicegrip's advice, I'm trying to keep my To-Do list granular and up-to-date. I'm getting close, and may just re-install the Koni shocks in the rear, leaving the suspension update until later (it will depend on how long everything else takes, if I can get the car out for a shake-down, and if it looks like it might possibly get to Mid-Ohio but without suspension update). So here's the To-Do list for the next 10 days:

Will be working almost all weekend (need to drive around and pick up parts, eat, sleep...). Feel free to come by if you're around. As always, bring a lawn chair and your sense of humor.
