        • For the remaining items that could have been knocked out in one day, my dad excels at procrastinating on starting to work on them until after lunch and just in time to have to stop to start fixing dinner or something else.

              • As soon as my dad decides to get stuff done.

                No, seriously, if we get it on the street by this weekend I'll be happy. I'm in class all day today so I can't to anything today - tomorrow when I get home from work I can help him with whatever needs to be finished and then hopefully on the road for a front end alignment!

                            • I work and have school.

                              Dad took a tube and connected the master cylinder to itself and then pressed the brake. Up until the point that he blew the tube off of the master cylinder ( ) he said the brake felt REALLY firm. SO the master cylinder is not bad, it's gotta be air in the ABS and brake lines still.

                              And I think that's all that was accomplished today... I don't have school tomorrow and Wednesday so once I get home from work the real work will get done since my dad's not doing it through the day.

                              • Well we got some work done today. Dad was able to take the passenger shock out and put the plastic spring seat in and then put the shock back in. Then I helped him get the passenger suspension all bolted in, and then we did the shock tower brace.

                                We also hooked up the shift cable that my dad got Easter Sunday. So now we can finally shift the transmission! One huge step forward!

                                So now all that's left to get it on the road:
                                Bleed out the brake lines and ABS again
                                Replace the two broken plugs on the PCM
                                Test the transmission fluid leak that I tried sealing with RTV
                                Get the front wheels on
                                Lower 'er to the ground.

                                Insurance officially went on the car on Monday so we need to get it on the road and driving!
