Since I move to college in a week, this thing needs to be able to make 500 mile long trips repeadedly and reliably. To fix the small (but annoying) radiator leak, we picked up a new radiator, hoses, and thermostat. The valve cover leaks around the spark plugs, so oil gets down there and it doesn't start sometimes. So new spark plugs, valve cover gasket, and new distributor rotor for good ridance. And it's oil change time.

I'm absolutely screwed. I leave for a week-long Alaska trip that I don't have time for tomorrow morning. The car is in pieces and the radiator is just barely in. Nothing else is done. I'm begging my dad to put the car together for me over the weekend while I'm gone, or I'll never leave in time to move in before classes start on the 29th.

But here's some pictures of the parts and todays (despressingly little) progress.
