A little late - but I get a 4 day this weekend.
Things have slowed down some; I always forget all the detail work takes for freaking ever!!!
But we should be able to fire it up tomorrow!!!!
Hoods are for punk b*tches.

We did get the Dynamat in and the plastic pieces painted since we are chinging it to Black. And I have a suprise for Shinka.... CF!!!!
So the interior won't be done this weekend I don't think; since me and Loper are leaving the country in a few days.... but Thanksgiving timeframe I think we will ahve it on the road and off to the body shop for some paint.

bummer about the transmission, wouldn't a M/T swap be a huge PITA? (it would be cool though)
Can't believe we're going to have to wait till after Turkey day to see more cool updates.

Well tranny swap is pretty easy since the car is OLD SKOOL; no computer issues.
That part may be waiting a few months either way because of money.
Loper left to the mainland today and I leave for Canada next weekend; and I was made to PROMISE not to start it without him even though I KNOW what the problem was (or I think I do); just have to advance the timing a bit and I bet it fires right up....... oh well; man-law and all - his motor he gets to turn the key for the first time.
I've got a video of why I love old electrical I will load later on....

I just got home last night from a week in Newfoundland... so nothing much really - gonna try to start it tomorrow maybe.
I think I figured out what I did wrong on the timing, but I have to wait for Loper to get here; man law and all.
