Wow, look at all the good news I have!

First and foremost, I got my suspension installed on all four corners. Looks damn good in there. Nothing too fancy, Tokico illuminas, Tokico springs, beefy sway bars.

Second, I just finished cleaning my calipers with a wire brush (and more labor than I wanted). They are now shiny and ready to paint.

Third, I calculated that it will only take about $1,000 dollars to get my car on the road, and I'm already 30% there (maybe 2 weeks more or so).

Fourth and by far the best, I just got a new air compressor in my garage. The specifics are lost as it was purchased through someone who had no paper work, but here's what I know: it's a campell-hausfeld (sp?) ~80 gallon (yeah, it's big) with a 5 hp motor. Hell yes. I just have to pick up a 30 amp breaker tomorrow to complete the install.

Just thought I'd share with everyone. Hope you all have a good week!
