Installed my NA-Tune, primed/painted the "hats" on my brake rotors, disassembled, cleaned/degreased, and primed my brake calipers. The bastards at NAPA Auto Parts sold me a can of paint with no propellant in it, so I couldn't paint my calipers 
Hopefully my caliper rebuild kits will be here tomorrow so I can put my calipers back together and take this car on its epic first journey around the block. I still need get my O2 sensor threads repaired and cut my cat off so I can get my chambered muffler welded on.
Anyone in my area willing to fix my O2 sensor threads and weld this thing for me? I am prepared to pay handsomely...

Wheel bearings are installed! Just in time too. They were in need of change. Should be much smoother driving. Maybe the car will get better mileage with the fresh bearings and grease too! I'm glad I farmed this work out, there was no way in heck I would have been able to do the rears on my own at home. They were original bearings and had never been apart that we could tell. (I stopped by the shop for a good close look at the work).

Got the wheels balanced and problem solved 
. Now to find a good body shop and get the paint job going. In the mean time I have to get my hatch back to open again.
BTW, has anyone have used sea foam on their cars? I was thinking in using it, but I'm a little skeptic...

Put the last coat of paint on my calipers, rebuilt them, and installed them on my car with all new rotors, hardware, wear sensors, stainless steel lines, and brake pads.
Painting them was kind of pointless since most of it got chipped off when I reassembled them

got the car back together after breaking a bolt in the camshaft cover. took it for a spin and it is running great! then it started overheating. coolant level is fine, does not seem to need a bleeding. looking into the thermostat and the fans.

I tried to take my kids yesterday to a mothers day family thing.
we had alot of rain in MTL, and guess what Car would not start. just kept cranking.
opened the hood, looks fine, on a hunch sprayed WD 40 on wires, dist cap.
and guess what, she started right up. I guess my Beru wires changed by the P.O are older than I thought.
long story short, it didnt act up again.

My rear brake lines got clogged again so I tried to remove my Power Bleeder so I could relieve pressure from the system and unscrew the line without spaying fluid everywhere. I unscrewed the adapter from the reservoir and ended up spraying brake fluid everywhere because my dumb *** forgot to unscrew the lid of my Power Bleeder to let the air out. For some reason I couldn't get the adapter to screw back on and wasted my ATE brake fluid that I can't get anywhere around here. Now I have to order it and wait another week to drive this car

I order 2 liters of ATE Super Blue brake fluid and found some brake fluid that I forgot to clean up last night. It vaporized the paint on my cam tower and now it looks like ****
All of that hard work for nothing

Ah you'll be alright, do some touch up and run with it. Most people won't notice it. I did the same thing on my intake when I changed out my master cyl. haha it sucks but you cant do much... You could mask off the area and respray if your hardcore about it.
