Great! Still need to do bushings. And we discovered that one of the headlight housings needs replacement due to a non-stellar bulb replacement under previous ownership that melted the housing enough to prevent proper seating of a new bulb, so I'm probably going to add projectors.

She's loving driving it. She added a bluetooth module, fixed a flat, replaced cabin air filter, engine air filter, windshield washer pump, replaced headliner, and watched me change oil and oil filter. Couldn't be much happier with how it's worked out so far.
Awesome, that mirrors my experience too even down to the melted headlight housing. I took mine out, trimmed the melted area off and was able to get the bulb receptacle to seat properly. You can get "off road" 65watt low beam/high beam halogens that brighten things up measurably if you don't want to spend the $$ on projectors.
