MR2 Update: Anticipation

So yesterday I rebuilt the CV joints (what an odd mechanical rubik's cube those things are), finished up changing the valve cover gasket, and plugged some other non essentials up and tested them.

The engine is fine. The transmission is go. Electronics coming back crystal clear.

So I set upon the final items.
I started bolting up the remaining drivetrain and sealing up the engine. I'm at the brakes now. It's only a matter of time till it coasts, gently at first out of the garage where it will see day light again for the first time in years.

Whereupon I'm flushing the ever living hell out of the cooling system to get that rust out.
