The "Holy crap, I must love to punish myself thread"

Project Phoenix update.

Got the power steering pump changed out and took the car for a spin around the block. I found a few more issues that I need to take care of. Driver's side front wheel bearing is toast, making noise and has an 1/8" of play. The rear sway bar bushings need to be replaced, it is a MSP!

Gave the car a QUICK bath (On the outside, inside still needs a ton of cleaning). I am happy with the condition of this car. The only bad areas on this car is there is some clear cloat peeling on the door handles.

Tail lights are not my favorite... anyone want to trade?

Two steps forward, one step back. Made a boost leak tester and found big leaks at all 4 injectors! I fixed them with the addition of some o-rings. Took the driver's side hub assembly off the car to replace the wheel bearing and found a major issue. The bearing had seized at some point and the previous owner continued to drive it. The bearing spun in the hub and ate the hub assembly.

Edit:
Turned out to only be the bearing, the hub assembly was still good. Replaced wheel bearing and all is well.
