Well, brakes are almost done, but no luck. At some point in the car's past, the brass junction block on the front of the master cylinder had been cross threaded where one of the brake lines goes in. I spent some time with a file cleaning it up, and thought I had it, but when I attempted to bleed the brakes, it leaked from that fitting. When I attempted to tighten it, it stripped. So, on hold until I can find a new block.

I did complete a major adjustment on all four corners, re-attached the park brake, and re-packed the front wheel bearings. Once I can get a new junction block, I should be able to bleed the system and go! Here's hoping.
