Fixed the door alignment problems by fastening down the roof box and adjusting the striker pins.

Recharged my ac with r134 using a machine at my brother in law's shop. Was experimenting with charge weight since I have an aftermarket condenser and DPIs smaller lines.
High side pressures are in the 300s, and low side pressures are between 30 and 50. I also did upgrade to a variable orifice tube. Do those pressures sound good for that setup? Should the compressor cycle with the VOV?
In any case, the system was only cool until I got home. By then, it was very cold and even pushing condensation into the air box outlets...

New DPI rotors and pads. Changed out the bearings too. Thanks to O'Reilly for having a wheel bearing press set to rent.

Threw the T-Panel and louvres back on with a minimum of damage.
Added some coolant.
Fired it up. That was a mistake.

Replaced the steel fasteners, washers, and shims on both front fenders with stainless steel. (Fender washers instead of shims. Trick to lining them up is to lift up on the fender lip a little bit with one hand and use an awl or ice pick in the other hand to move the washers from the center.)

Fellow D owners, today was one filled with excitement for me as the car was off the jacks from its' winter nap and finally on the ground. The parts (driving too) I was most anxious about was testing all the items I changed, added, modified. Brakes from the end of last season, new alternator pumping out enough amps to have good system voltage. This helped my new stereo amp put out the sounds! New LEDs on all exterior locations, headlights too.
The biggest test of all was testing my newly (myself) rebuilt transmission shifting computer. The first drive, I found out that I did everything correctly and the transmission shifted beautifully through all gears properly. Needless to say I'm one of the happiest D owners on the planet today.
Now I will admit that if it weren't for this great community and these forum posts, I wouldn't have attempted rebuilding my shift computer, thanks everyone.
