I FINALLY got my car running!!! YES!!

After a year of working on it, a lot of sweat and even some blood, it finally runs. I got the car for free because it was stripped to bare metal inside and the only thing in the engine bay was a tranny. After putting together the interior I bought an engine, but got ripped off, as some of you know. Finally got another one and after misc. fuel and electrical problems IT RUNS. And I gotta say, it runs PERFECT. Fast as hell. No hesitation, 6 ports working. Ill get some videos up within the week. My first 7, and I already love it. After over a year of working on it, it was worth it!

Congrats on all the hard work paying off! Now get out there and enjoy the fruits of your labor, preferably on a twisty road with lots of switchbacks.
