Had a slight timing issue, but otherwise it fired right up.

What a relief after almost 5 years of work. I've got 6 weeks till a big carshow at the dealership I work at, so Bodywork from hear on in.

congratulations. 5 years? wow. i can only imagine what you felt in that moment. and now 6 weeks of bodywork? get on it, man. let me know if you need to borrow a catheter, some water and a length of chain with a leg-iron.

after 4 years, i am hoping to achieve the same with my Gen II by summer's end. (finger's crossed)

Nice! Always a good feeling when they actually roar to life after all the hard work.

Interested to see how the VMIC setup works for you.
