Holy loose header bolts batman. One bolt was barely hanging on. Two others were loose enough to move with my fingers. A few more needed half a turn to tighten up. I went over all the header bolts 3 times to make sure they were all nice and snug. I will make a note to check them frequently to see if they back out again. It's too late now to start up the car, but tomorrow after I get back from work I'll see if the noise is gone.
My engine started making a clicking sound a few weeks ago, and I haven't really run it since, due to being paranoid that something was wrong with the engine. Anyway, Plano Matt stopped by and checked out the car. I started it up for him, and he told me the noise was an exhaust leak. So, I'll be checking out the header bolts and the exhaust bolts to see if anything has backed out.

To Do:
Fix Exhaust Leak
Fix Coolant Leak
Set Ride Height
Alignment
Title, Insure, Inspect, Register
I've been slacking. I still need to title the car and to get an alignment done. I have a coolant leak problem, it looks like the thermostat housing gasket is leaking. I purchased a new one, but haven't replace it yet. Also, I need to buy a new battery as the current one is dead and won't charge. But, the carpet is installed, and the trim rings. I need to get out and take an updated picture, maybe I'll do that tonight.
