Update: Got the car all buttoned up and coolant poured in and fired it right up. Let it run a few minutes and topped off coolant...took 2 gallons total. After about 10 minutes noticed a coolant drip on front lower passenger side radiator hose. Turned out to just be the O-Ring on the temperature sensor in the lower hose. I just ordered a whole new sensor cuz it was like $15 and I would have to wait for the O-Ring to be shipped anyway, so ordered both of those and the expansion tank coolant level sensor because I noticed the electrical connector was a little cracked when I put everything back together.

Got the parts tonight and just finished putting everything back together, again. Warming up inside before I go back out to do the coolant-fill procedure again. 10 degrees outside and about 20 degrees in my garage.

I've learned so much in the past 30 days about this car. I'm almost tempted to keep it just because it's paid for and I know (hopefully) that all the major repairs have now been done. Most of all though, if anything else under the hood fails, I know what parts need to come off and how to do it in a hurry.

Great satisfaction doing the work yourself! Well done!

Almost tempted or seriously considering to keep it?
