Hope turned to depression turned to a little bit of joy.

I started out the day hopeful to get the engine running. As I poured the coolant in, I noticed it was coming right out again at the back of the engine. It looks like the intake manifold didn't seal at the back passenger side. Damn it. I ran over to Napa and got a good set of fel-pro gaskets. I will tear the top end back apart in a few days when I can get the car back in the garage. 
Feeling a little defeated,  I decided we should get started wet sanding and buffing the trunk lid. We then got the rear trim and rear bumper installed.
We then moved to the inside and got the carpet installed. Once the carpet was mostly in, we grabbed the seat and started getting it installed. After Ashley struggled for a while trying to get the seat nuts on and I snapped of the lower bit of a seat bolt, we pulled the seat back out so that I could run a die over the studs. With the threads now cleaned out (which I should have done to start with), we managed to get the seat in. We then got the steering wheel in and the directional stalk. It is starting to look like a car on the inside now.
I then proceeded to sit behind my new steering wheel for about 20 minutes while Ashley picked up all the tools. Thanks dear.
