Still making a little progress, though it's going a lot slower than I expected.  I spent more time at pnp today than I wanted to and spent way more than I expected on my parts, but I should now have all or most the exhaust I need, plus I now have a rear u-bolt flip kit for when I do my rear springs.

I finished up my temporary power steering bracket but will still need to make a one piece unit in the near future to get the right angle on the belt.

I just pulled off the valve cover so I can re-seal the half moons, then I'll fill the oil before sticking the valve cover back on.

New spark plugs and wires are now installed, alternator wiring is hooked up as is the igniter.

I still need to pull the heater core and clean it, but if I look at it and it looks to be too big a job for now I'll shine it until I change my coolant next time.  The heater has always worked fine and usually cooks me out on the freeway without the fan running, so I think I can let it slide for now.  I still need to run to town and get some distilled water for the cooling system, probably should check and see how much antifreeze I have before I go too.

Battery should be just about charged up, so I can hook up the battery cables and wires and I'll be really close.
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
