Back to the brake fiasco. 1987 NA. New pads, new rotors, new lines, painted 'em up, but there is no way they are going over those rotors unless I slam them on, which I am not about to do. Piston is compressed, outer pad in that little notch.

Why are the simplest of projects the most nerve wracking?

So the car is getting closer to setting on its wheels again...

Today I:
Changed the oil
Cleaned up oil that I spilled all over the damn garage floor...arghhhhh
Installed new slave cyl and hose (PITA clip that holds it to the bellhousing)
Installed starter and heat shield

Tomorrow:
Fill 'er up with coolant
Install new vacuum port crush washers
Install new PS and AC/Alt belts
Install front airdam and belly pan
Maybe pull the fuel level sender and clean it up
Start it for the first time in 3 months?
