after 3 months shes driving and STOPPING once again!

3 months ago, pitt beat wvu and i stomped my brakes and snapped a line. well, finally got the line fixed (along with the other one that i accidentally cut while i was under there fixing the first one). went to bleed the brakes starting with the right rear, sprayed it down with PB blaster for 2 days, put on a socket, lightly started goign tighter and looser to pursuade it off, snapped off the bleeder. got a friends torch, was able to get off the line to the inner wheel cylinder and bleed it that way. went to driver side, heated up the bleeder so much i blew out the dust boot of the wheel cylinder, and still couldnt get the bleeder open. bled that one by the line. got both front bleeders open with no issues, put in new bleeders and bled it and shes back on the road! granted i have to give about 12 car lengths in between me and the car in front of me cuz of the air in the rear lines but hey...its semi drivable and thats good enough for me. soon as i get my schoolwork done for the week im gonna put on some new inner wheel cylinders on the rear and should be good to go.
also started to put a few hours wetsanding and prepping it for paint, still trying to decide between flat black, blue, or white.
