    (Yesterday) Applied POR-15 to some areas requiring touch-ups in the rear of the car. It is now rock hard and no more unsightly little rusty areas. Now I just have to find some grey paint that looks right. (I can't get Rustoleum Smoke Grey here).
    Also, good idea or bad idea: painting the hidden side of the fuel tank closing plate with POR-15 after brake fluid damage?

    That's what I did to my closing plate. Turned out great

    Great idea. Uncoated it will rust out from the inside. that is where all the rainwater from the windshield goes.

    With 1258 now in daily driver status, I'm becoming most adept at removing door panels...FML.

    After getting new tires ordered at the local TireRack yesterday, I decided to take a good look at the tires I have now. I knew I was getting a few bald spots, but boy was I wrong! I got chords showing on one of them! She'll sit now until the new tires are mounted. On the plus side, my new radio, a Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS should arrive in the mail today or tomorrow. Should be able to get that installed this weekend.

    Changed the cap and rotor to evidently finally solve the miss I was experiencing. Installed 6 new injectors as well.

    Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:

    Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.

    Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....
