I didn't do much last night, but I did take over my mom's garage, get the car up on jack stands, take the wheels off, assess the jobs to be done, and lube up trouble spots with Liquid Wrench. I'll be doing the control arm bushings as well as replacing the rear calipers and the hydraulic pressure accumulator. The latter is what the siphon is for. I have to remove all the power steering/hydraulic fluid from the system and then somehow remove that accumulator. It's in an awkward spot, but I think I can get at it from underneath. Just annoying without a lift.
Also, those control arm bushings are well and truly shot. I could pretty much tear off the outer edge of rubber, and the rest of the bushing didn't look good either. I plan to spend time sanding down the control arms to get most of the surface rust off and then spray them with black paint. I should probably do this before I get the new bushings pressed in.
Much to do.

Haha, not just yet. I don't have a welder, nor any welding experience.

Not necessarily... lol.
But really, I won't be welding my own exhaust as a learning exercise. I'll let pros handle that. I can learn on simpler stuff sometime.

Just sayin it may come in handy if you keep that bucket.
