FWIW, technically speaking, I could hop in my Alpine, turn the key, and
drive off. Last night I finished bleeding the brakes, installing the
battery, and making sure all the lighting was wired right. I put the gas
in a couple of days ago. It will still wait until Saturday to give it a
go.
The door insides still have to be done too. But, they close and that's all
I need.
BTW, on bleeding the brakes, I used some of those new fangled spring loaded
self bleeding bleeder screws. I got them from Dave Bean for $12 each. The
worked nicely. Pep Boys has them for about $13 each. But, they are
different brands and styles. DB's have a big round ball at the end of a
shaft and spring which is the seal against the slave cylinder. The Peb
Boys ones are by Russell, and the ball and spring are tiny and completely
housed inside of screws.
