Yesterday I got the exhaust repair nightmare done. My genius idea of using nuts and bolts to bolt up the Y-pipe had one small problem that I hadn't thought of: You need a wrench to hold the nut while tightening the bolt, and a 17 mm wrench was too long to access one of the nuts. I had buy a cheap wrench and cut it in half to tighten up one of the bolts. I also had to replace an o2 sensor connector that I accidentally melted when I was using the torch.
Anyway, I got it all done and fired up the engine. No leaks! Although it still seems to be misfiring a little. Fuel trims look good now. I already changed the spark plugs, and I have new wires on the way. I'll have to run it a while and see if any codes pop up and go from there.
I also finished installing the new seats this week. They're pretty sweet.
I'll go to the DMV sometime this week and get it registered. Then I can drive it to the tire shop for tires and an alignment. I just added it to my insurance policy a few days ago. $40 a month for liability only.
