Good. I have been hanging out on Geometroforum with the day to day updates.
I replaced the axles, tie rod ends, control arms, struts, fixed the headlights (they work now!) and did a compression test (140, 135, 100..., 130).
The first tank of gas was 35 mpg. That is regular driving. Once I get used to the car and it's issues, I will start making some changes to my driving. I am very happy with 35 mpg though I know this car can do so much better. I am still figuring out a few things with it, like why it bucks. I filled two of three motor mounts and it still bucks, so now I am thinking it might be TPS related. Looks like a project for next weekend.
