A couple of bolts and fix the alternator plug wire.
Fuel system final check, gas guage final wiring for sender and low fuel light.. Fuel and coolant filling and pressure test.
Final nut and bolt for all go systems.
Final wiring check of all systems.
Swap out rear brakes with my new PMB ones and bleed.
What am I forgetting?
To do: dyno, put hoods back on, Alignment, mirrors, sea belts, plates, insurance... I have to be missing something.

Hi Gint and Shar!
We are about 15 minutes east of downtown. Usually low 80’s, but that all depends on the Marine layer.
You headed this way?

I forgot about boot camp in July and August, 1984. I spent the entire late summer and fall through December in A school as well. I was just looking at the weather history because I remember it being hot. There were a couple of days in September that it was 90+ (99 on 9/8). Abnormal...
We're looking for a summer vacation destination. We'll check hotel stuff and get back to ya!

So, for the first time in probably 20 years, this car moved under its own power.
Not running great yet.
Dyno tune
Seatbelts and mirrors
Align
Drive like I stole it.
Touch up paint where I had to shift stuff around.
A lot of little stuff to finish up or work on, but the main package is in one piece.

Ok! Car is up at the Dyno shop getting tuned.
As I cleaned my garage I reviewed my list of To Do items:
Seat Belts
Mirrors (side and windscreen)
Alignment
Touch up Paint....
What is everybody doing for Alignment? Stock?
My plans are spirited driving and the occasional AutoX. I don’t care about Tire wear as I plan on replacing my tires every 10k (or 3 years which ever comes first....)
Can people chime in on what they have set?
Running 8’s and 9’s respectively
