Little update here, was going to bleed brakes yesterday but the weather has been telling me otherwise, finally got a break in the rain and went out in the sopping wet to get some bleeding done with my father!
Was able to get a solid fluid stream out of all 4 corners! The fronts had like 2 air bubbles total in the whole line, so almost no bleeding was required on those. The rear right one fought me a bit this time though(the first one I started with, did the typical order), there was some stuck air. So I said screw it, let me get all of the air out of the other lines and hoses, and I'll come back to it. The rest of them gave me no problem at all, and at the end I went back to the rear right, and bled for about another minute or two, and just like the others, solid fluid stream!
Pedal feels FIRM, very good. For peace of mind and because that one side did fight me a bit, I will still run an autobleed on it, for the small chance that there is a little air in the ABS pump, but I'm happy and this front end rebuild with brakes and all new hoses(and now a new hard line) is finally coming to a close!
