Kidding, of course.
Things are nearing the end, though it feels like I've been saying that since this started.
The car runs. That's the good news.
Real life keeps me from giving it the attention it needs to be mobile however. That's the bad news.
Picked up some new parts to add to it. Nothing shiny, new rotors & pads, new fogs to replaced the old cracked one, a new driver's air bag, a pair of replacement LCAs, and some new rear isolators for a little extra drop without the harshness of the "heater-hose mod." Also picked up a LPP Xpipe with some bullets attached to it. Since it was only 25 bucks, and local to where I was going to be, I thought why not. However, it's missing a 35* (or 45*?) bend on the driver's side, as the owner couldn't find it last minute. I thought I'd throw that on there, just to see if I liked how the car sounded with an X pipe, instead of the Y-pipe set up that I had on there originally. Worst case, I swap back and eat the $25, I imagine. Just gotta source a bend. (Is my age showing?)
I've turned my focus on the brake lines now. Because my original car was a 4-channel optioned car, I'm encountering some speed bumps with this 3-channel rear that I bought. Swapped out for a non-TCS equipped throttle cable and bought a new 3-channel ABS block, and pulled the TCS light in the gauge cluster. However, upon fastening the lines to the ABS block, it became obvious that there was an issue.
As the experienced guys know, and have told me, the 4-channel cars have a designated brake line that runs from each corner to the ABS block, whereas the 3-channel cars are a little different--One line connects both rear brakes to the M.C.
Currently, I'm about to search for the right part, and get the proper 3-channel brake lines, as I've never so much as owned a flare tool, yet alone flared any brake lines before.
Thereafter, I think she should be able to make it to the end of the driveway under her own power.
Still got some fine-tuning to do. Exhaust hangs too low for my liking, that will need to be finalized. Miscellaneous small things like getting the wipers, cowl, impact foam, and washer fluid on. That stuff should be easy. Currently, I just want to make sure everything functions as it should and all safety related criteria are in place tightly properly.
That's my story for the night. I'll pick it up again tomorrow; there's always something small to do.

THX for the update. You kinda freaked me out with your response. I get the whole Pheonix thing but I was afraid you went one step over the line.

a few more parts came in I believe. all the correct brakes line pre-bent. Other than that I don't believe any other progress.

looks like there was some confusion with the swapping of oil pans and transferring parts/receiving parts

Are there o-ring gaskets on the oil pan, separate from the large perimeter gasket?

It's back together; Drives & stops on it's own power. Just don't trust it yet! Gotta go over it with a fine-tooth comb, change up some ABS stuff, investigate an oil leak at the pan (gasket? gah!), then send it off to be painted & throw an interior in it.
I will be making more time to work on it next weekend & in coming weekends, now that the weather is turning for the better.
Rumor has it, Donnj has mancave that needs a shortterm house guest
