I went with Textar again, Since Powerstop dropped the ball and sent the wrong pads.
I really wanted to see If the powerstop pads kick out less dust...

Wow look at those brake parts. California living.

Finally removed my headliner, which had started to resemble a droopy circus tent, and rather liked the bare-metal look enough to put back all the plastic trim for now. Is it me, or does it resemble the exterior of that Back to the Future car, the DeLorean?

I botched removal of one the sun visor clips, trying to twist it off instead of lifting it up, but managed to remove it intact.

Get it out onto Death Race I287, get it up to 90 mph for 30 minutes (stay in slow lane so you don't impede traffic) then come back and show us your dipstick again, staying at least 500 meters from schools.

Ha! I should definitely do that in second gear, yes?

Fire, drilling, and lube are your friends on the delta links.

I paid a guy $500 to do mine since I was in a time pinch. Said it took him over 16 hours with 2 guys working on it over 3 days. I'm assuming that translates into a week if I did it. I think time savings and frustration spared alone made that repair bill worth it.
