I was able to get the exhaust to work, amazingly. Good experience for the next time I build one with a turbo setup (future goals). Took a lot of work to make the vbands fit in such a tight space. That is my fault for not fully thinking this all through. Regardless it worked and I should be able to tune accurately now. I have also been working in my cluster. I put some rings around the gauges, replaced burned out bulbs, polished the cover and replaced the odo gears. I also adapted my afr gauge to be integrated into the cluster itself. I only have one thing left to do with that before I put it together, which is cover the digital gauge in a translucent vinyl so it's less obvious and less bright. I think it's gonna be pretty nice when all together.

I went to test out the power bleeder the other day and the first thing that happened was the bleeder screw broke off. I thought, this seems easy enough to get out with an extractor, there is already a hole there! So I tried the extractor and we'll... That didn't go so well. It snapped off in the bleeder. Ive been down a road like this before and it required a lot of patience and effort. I didn't feel inclined... So a RockAuto purchase later and I have two rear calipers refurbed and ready to replace the old. Bled the system, which seemed to be pretty needed! The clutch was disgusting and I'm not even sure how it was working with such shit fluid in there. Happy it's done! Next is get my fenders painted.

I prefer to weld a few tacks on the remaining bleeder nipple and weld on a nut than using an extractor, I've broken too many hahaha ..

Even closer now to driving. I have a few things I'd like to do first. Example, I ordered a new temp switch and realized that it's not the one I was looking for, but it looks so nice I couldn't pass up the chance to get it to work. So I ordered a plug repair kit and it should be the correct plug for the sensor. I'm not sure why upgrading a plug is so satisfying, but it is. I got my seats installed and working properly. I was having trouble finding a ground, but then learned that was because I blew a fuse... New fuse in and it's good to go. I am gonna wrap the body flares, but honestly this whole car is due for a respray or full paint job. Time will tell, but it needs more low first. Anxious to drive it for many reasons.
