finally running right!

i been working on my 85 gs all weekend and i finally got it running smooth! i pulled all the rats nest out, fixed a coolant leak, and did a little rewiring. its a good feeling of accomplishment when you do it yourself. i couldn't have done it without the forums.

here is a crappy pic. its all i have right now lol

looking nice, gotta love those days when everything is working great, all that work you've done pays off, no little bog, no little noise, squeak, vibration, oil pressure gauge is right where it should be :P just a perfect day with some curves and no traffic ahead....

Congrats on your success.

The lightning was just God giving you a Han Solo-ish "Great job, kid; now don't get cocky!"

i haven't driven it much. i only drove it about 5 miles after i fixed it. the random rain storms are keeping me from cruising. ill probably take it out this weekend and shine up the faded paint good as i can. i got my first rx7 back in 2002. it was my first car and i only got to keep it for a year because i drove the crap out of the poor thing and damn near blew it up. i sold it off to get a reliable truck and i have missed it ever since. this one i plan on holding on to.
