Ok, today I think i can say I finally closed out this latest chapter in MeanMini's saga..
Back on her own four wheels, instead of jackstands.
I finally took her for an inspection, because it came due while she was broken. Ran pretty good, but that was her test ride so i took it very easy.

But with the heat today I think i will try changing out my modified water pump. I think with the underdrive puley and the modified pump, i might have shorted myself too much flow at idle. It takes too long to cool down when over the tstat temp even with the fan on.
Also i still need to change the timing belt because it keeps wanting to tighten when warm. It has been weird ever since the intermediate shaft gear loosened and walked off into the A/C bracket.
And I have new struts to go in and all new brakes too.
