rekeyed the drivers door so I now can unlock it with a key. didn't dare lock it before as the key only worked the ignition. also cleaned this mess up while I was in there.

Figured out turn signals and 4-way flashers, replaced bulbs in instruments, did a 75 mile drive. This car has been off the road since 1991. It's nice to finally be driving it.

Changed the fan belt on Kermee, easy to do thanks to the access hatch that Josh installed....also replaced the brake fluid with fresh ATE super blue from my dwindling stash....also easy thanks to speed bleeders.

I pulled the front calipers , boxed up to ship to PMBPERFORMANCE. Ordering new tie rods and hard lines for the front. I should not be surprised, after doing the rear, I knew most all the suspension parts on this car are original and untouched .
I've never torn into the front suspension before, I need a bit ofhelp . How do you get the front center cap off? Do I just pry it off.? I am taking the rotor off to put my 5-lugs on and dont wnt to bend or break anything!

I usually go at it with a flat blade screwdriver& tap it with a hammer....second choice is a big pair of channel lock pliers spanning the cap and a few taps with a small hammer to break it loose.

Drove it from 9am to 1pm within orange county (Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton and Cypress) to 2 different Best Buy stores and Fry's Electronics and friends house. First time to drove it on 91 Freeway traffic which I thought I will have problem on my cooling system. Well I got maximum 230 to 235 degrees based on the Thermo dipstick.

And yesterday I was able to clean or remove old paint from this 2 wheels and maybe another 2 tomorrow.
