1. Replace rear brake hose & splice into hardline (read double flaring tool.
2. Breakdown & put that oil filter I bought 2wks ago on (may want to wait till after headers on :lala: )
3. Flush/fill radiator & powersteering pump.
4. Put some shims in the starter for clearance.
5. Drill out & replace brocken tranny bolts & fill w/fluid
6. Get new air filter that will fit the pvc & adapters
7. Install headers & listen to the ROAR
8. Bleed brakes
9. Get car titled & registered in my name
10. Drive car to mufflershop & have them install/weld y-pipe,cat, & dynomax cat-back system.

Project 85--
Back in my days of living in Dayton, I know two good muffler/exhaust shops in the area that would probably do the Y-pipe.
1. Big Muffler -- Located in Huber Heights on Old Brandt Pike (?). The guy's name is Wes -- He's good at what he does
2. Muffler Bros -- Located next to the Autozone on Smithville road. They did a full dual exhaust system on my Aspen wagon back in 1997.
I think the names are correct -- It's been a while since I've been back out there

as long as the line connects to the brake hose. maybe get one of the 8" lines w/the bubble end into the hose, & splice other end to hard line. use fittings & unions & presto leak gone & brakes back.
also: I used the british type/thread metric lines for those who haven't replaced the brake lines yet.
