Finally got my car on the road again

Like the title says, it's finally back on the road. For those that don't know, my car caught fire at Hammy due to a powersteering leak. Got the fire out before it caused major damage. Got a new set of PS lines from the dealer and a used pump from stg2lcy(Jeff thanks man) and got it all installed. Got just a little air left that should work itself out with time. I may have to change the front passenger O2 sensor but other than that, it's driving fine. Thanks to everyone who helped me out.

I installed a Blitz SUS Intake without the bracket to hold it up. And because of that it rubbed a hole into the line.
