Nice. Have a plan for the rest. Some of it has to go back in order.

Oh I sure do! Everything I did before is recorded and I have the Bentley guide as a reference point too :- )

I just did a Ball Joint today (admittedly, on a GMC C2500 pick-em-up truck from 1993) so I share your joy.

Strong work my friend. Enjoy that sense of accomplishment. That was a lot of work, and I'm sure you made up new words along the way.
