She's alive!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I've got a few small things to button up, but the job is 95% done. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:
Clutch line installation: (and the throttle cable grommet I still have to poke into place. Annoying little guy that one.)
Pedals installed and dashboard put back together. I have heard rumours, or perhaps you could say legends, of people who can install the pedals without taking the kick panel and steering column out. All I can say is that you people must be some kind of sorcerers, because there wasn't a snowball's hope in hell of me getting it done with everything still there.
New calipers painted black and installed. One is going to have to get replaced though. When I tried to bleed it nothing would come through. I pulled the line back off and fluid came pouring out, so something was causing a blockage in the caliper. I jammed my pick tool (which is magnetic) into the bottom of the bleed port and broke through something, which turned out to be a pile of the metal bead shot they use to clean the calipers when they're reman'd. It bled fine after that, but I have a feeling that over time those beads will chew up the seals.
Interior reassembled, minus the center console. I need to fab up the plate to clamp down that rubber shifter seal thing and finish trimming the shifter surround to fit properly.
Work remaining is to drop the pre-cats and seal them properly (they were installed temporarily to let me test drive it), finish the console, and bed the brakes in properly, then go get an alignment. I still haven't done that since installing the coilovers.
