Did a bunch of work tonight, but didn't have the camera with me.

Here's what I did:
  • Installed new/used steering wheel
  • Removed rusty (and crunchy) pedal cluster and installed the cluster I rebuilt with bronze bushings and POR15'd
  • Installed brand new accelerator pedal
  • Installed window cranks
  • Transfered title into my name
  • Removed front license plate
  • Got new plates from the DMV
  • Insured
  • Tightened left front wheel bearing
  • Adjusted the slack out of the throttle cable
Somethings that I found while poking around:
  • E-brake is a mess, but I know why. Only the right-rear pads were replaced.
  • Engine lid cable is gone, have replacement
  • Tie-rods ends are shot, need to replace with the turbo tie-rods kit that I have on my shelf
  • Need to install optima battery (on shelf)
  • Gauge plate rusty, need to replace
  • Wiper arms need repainting/powdercoating
  • Small dent (no creases) in bumper that I'd like to pull/push out
  • Battery not secure
  • ECU not mounted, but there's no mount as this car was converted from a 1.8 with L-Jet to a 2.0 with D-jet. Will have to fab a mount.
  • Clutch pedal cable is newish, but needs adjusting
