Drove it to work as I dreamed about my new tires arriving this week so I can finally mount those goddamn speedlines I bought last year.
EDIT:
Finally got the speedlines mounted. I want to get excited but, they're just stock wheels after all.
Yeah those bitches'll be flocking because of my new 17s lol....

I was *hoping* to hear mine run again (first time in three months!) but the vendor I got my AC kit from screwed up my order. In the last week, I've re-installed the freshly re-coated LT Grot headers, new plugs, plug wires, O2 sensors, alternator, starter, whole new AC system, belts, brakes, fluid flush... if my damn AC seals had arrived, I'd be driving it right now, but the AC kit didn't have the seals in it. 
Hopefully this weekend.

Put a Melling high volume oil pump in it, and while I was at it installed solid motor mounts too.
The mounts were almost easy compared to the oil pump R&R - that was as bad as a colonoscopy! But, at operating temp and idle, I now have 30 PSI, and 75 PSI at WOT.

Bought it a new stereo system, and later im gonna finish running lines to my oil filter, and wire in my 5-pin MAF and MAP extension.
Also, started working on a license plate mount for my GO PRO Camera.
I machined up a mount, and ordered a tripod mount to use with it.

inspected the turbo compressor blades, cleaned my air filter, inspected the throttle body, inspected the turbo piping, inspected the methanol pump, hoses, and nozzle... everything looked good

IT'S ALIVE!!!
After having an AIR fitting fall off my old headers, the AC system died, the alternator died... it's all back together. I started it up for the first time in a month today. Runs like a champ. As soon as I charge the new AC system, she's back on the road. Tomorrow... can't wait! Been too long since it last left the garage.
