Close But No Cigar

I am so close to finishing this project.  All I need to do is finish mounting the new disc brakes, install the new brake cylinder, run some brake lines, and bleed the brakes.  Unfortunately though, work and school are keeping me busy during the week and I am busy over the next two weekends.  So far, I have spent about two full weekends working on the car.  The first weekend was spent pretty much disassembling everything and getting together just a few basic things.

This past weekend was a lot better.  I spent about 15 hours in the garage this past weekend.  I was able to get everything apart and put all the suspension and steering parts together.  I also was able to find a place to order new rear tires.  The 245/60R14 tire size is pretty unique, but I was able to find them.  I also started installing the brake parts.  I had some trouble removing the brake cylinder, but once I was able to get that apart, everything started going together pretty well, until of course I look up and it is 10:00 at night on Sunday and I needed to stop.

It was a pain to remove, but it finally came out

Dust shield and caliper mount installed
Rotors and Calipers installed and ready to go

Man I wish I had time to finish this.  It is killing me to not have the time and know that is so close to being done.  I want to get the car back on the road and drive it again!
