Let us know how that turns out! POR-15... Goes without saying that it is all about the prep work with this stuff. The rest sounds like it is still a
job, but if you need help, let us know, okay? The club is overdue for a trip up that way.

The club is overdue for a trip up that way.Yeah seems that way I had the entire under carriage bead blasted but due to time and that is was wet and it was out door blasted i had to do the normal prep as well. I'm hoping I did muck up and waste alot of $ on it. I will say the top coat I am not impressed by as denatured alcohol will pull color from multi week cured top coat, though the base coat seem mostly impervious. Thanks for the wrenching offer, might have to take ya'll up on it in a bit. It would cool to meet everyone as well.
Went over to Randy's and changed out my front wheel bearings.
New calipers, rotors and pads. And a new brake booster.
Something a little wrong with the old stuff.

Dude, you use your brakes way too much...
Have you seen Savannah drivers?
Seriously though, stuck caliper equals destroyed brake pad which equals destroyed rotor which equals me spending a bunch of money to fix it.
I did go ahead and upgrade to 100 series pads while I was at it though. Stops on a dime now.

100 series pads with 80 series calipers? They work together?
AFAIK they do, just swap right in.
Larger pad surface area.

Yep, I dropped 100 series pads right in, no issue.
I discovered this as I was buying a set of front 80 pads, so it'll be a while before I switch to 100 pads. Here's a recent discussion about it. @JohnVee and other ONSC'ers have been doing it, they're holding out on you Jeremy!
Thanks for this, Tim. The whole thread was a quick and informative discussion.I discovered this as I was buying a set of front 80 pads, so it'll be a while before I switch to 100 pads.

Keep in mind you can also get the 100 series TRD pads to make it even better. I have a set in the garage.

For my Wrenching Wednesday, I was drilling, pulling & tacking wire.
still a long way to go.
She's coming right along !
You need that bezel!!! Although I prefer the look of the OEM headlights, if you plan to drive at night, you really need LED's... I almost bought the Lifetime LED's, but decided to go with the CityRacer lights. The difference is yuuuge! Something to think about down the road. Or immediately if you don't have working headlights.
Not doing any work but i did just place the order for my new 1fzfe engine wiring harness... $$$OUCH!!$$$
Since I have the notorious rust spot below my window on the back door, its far cheaper to replace the door with a donor than patch/paint the hole. Luckily, I have a color match donor, but serious clear coat peel at the top. The other downside is the donor is a '91, so I'm having to replace the wiring harness and every component. I wasn't able to unplug the connectors until I found on the 80 forum you have to pull down the corner of the headliner...just what I wanted to do. I'll also loose my center brake light, but I'm considering do some drilling and mounting, but the jury is still out on the importance of a center brake light.
On another note, I think I'm single handedly bringing down home values in the neighborhood by doing driveway auto repair. I'm holding out until they go-fund-me a garage behind the house. I can be bought.

Were you able to get it running?
Nope... Got everything back together only for it to do the same exact thing. Ohmed out the injector wires and got 2ohms to ground on #6
