I've been traveling for the last 4 weeks and haven't been able to drive the car. I went out turned the key and it started first time it made me smile. Drove it to run a few errands.

Finished putting the interior back in, except for the steering column surround and glove box, which are broken, and the cargo net and glove box lid, which are missing. (But I think I know where they might be...)
Replaced rear side marker lights with new LED modules.
Changed the brake fluid. What I put in was clear. What I got out was brown and opaque. Yuck.
Put the engine compartment lights on a rocker switch.
Checked the battery. 12.35v.
Turned the key. Crank, crank, crank, crank, crank...
Well, it started just the other day...
Called it a night.

Replaced seized AC idler bearing with one from McMaster (same price as DMCH, but 2 days closer to me for for shipping). Nice to have AC back with the 90+ temperatures we're experiencing.
I had a devil of a time disassembling it. The spacer was seized to the spindle, trapping the bearing in place. It took an overnight soak in Kroil and a hydraulic press to get it apart.

Does that mean you solved your issues? Your other thread says things were worse?
