Today.... I drove it! (first time in about 2 months) ... Before this was possible though:

* New Waterpump
* New Timing Belt
* New Timing belt tensioner and idler
* Proper timing belt cover installed (Thanks Nate)
* New Accessory belts
* Fresh Coolant

Also had to ghetto mod the muffler by removing the broken outlet and tip. The "box" is still there and it's getting v.f.loud as the wadding blows out of it. But at least it doesn't appear to be loosing water and it's running good and strong so I got the timing belt on OK.

w00t.

Total cost of all this... $198 in parts...
