Well, My mechanic stopped by today to inspect some of the work I have done on the car. He found quite a few things wrong with it, and he chewed me out a bit, as you can see in the first picture. Something wasn't quite right with the rear calipers.

After the rear brake inspection, he inspected some of my latest handy work. The emergency brake handle installation. Everything looked ok as far as he could tell.

The engine was next. He decided it needed a few minor adjustments before it gets mounted to the frame.

Last but not least was the steering inspection. He wasn't too happy that I didn't have the seats installed, as he could barely reach the steering wheel.

In addition to the surprise visit from my mechanic. I went through and made a list of things to do before the wheels, engine and wiring go in.
  • Brake light switch needs to be installed (on order from Napa, will pick it up on Monday)
  • The gaps in the passenger and drivers side footboxes need to be sealed up with some silicone
  • The round steering shaft things (I don't know what they are called) need to be installed.
  • The upper steering shaft clips need to be installed
  • Need an appropriate sized nut and bolt for the lower steering shaft to u-joint
  • The battery ground cable needs to be fastened to the frame
  • The positive battery cable needs to be fastened to the appropriate place on the drivers foot box (wherever that is)
  • Clear coat the upper radiator hose extension
  • Bead both radiator hose extensions
  • Fill the Differential with gear oil and friction modifier
  • Tighten up the IRS upper control arms
  • Emergency brake cable installation
