    As of last night, rear suspension is bolted together, albeit loosely. Axle nuts torqued. Suspension bolts will get torqued once I get it on the ground, then on ramps. That way the suspension arms are torqued under load to properly set the bushings.
    Stock rear brakes are back on, new pads installed, and the whole system was flushed/bled. Clutch fluid was also flushed.
    I've still got a new driveshaft coupler on order since my exhaust has been melting mine. The exhaust wrap I bought from Greg should prevent future meltage, but I still need the new coupler. I'd prefer the driveline didn't explode on the car's next owner.

    Got a contact high in the garage using solvents to clean up the heads a bit. Good thing the weather was nice and I could have the doors open.
