So I'm going to wait until tomorrow to start it up, I want to go over everything and make sure everything is good, then I'll fill it up with Oil and Coolant and start it up.

All that's left to do is install the Undertray, Bumper, Side Skirts, Hood, and Wheels.

So no video tonight, but as promised here are some pics :D

Thanks for all the love everyone!!!

I just got the car started!!!!!!!!

I had an issue trying to start it, everything was connected I had power to everything inside, the starter had power, Fuel Pump was priming, Clutch Pedal Switches were connected, No CELS, Reset the NVRAM and KAM, Checked the ECU, MAF and OMP connections, Jumped the Positive Wire and the Starter Solenoid and it turned, but when I turned the key the car didn't respond at all, no click from the starter nothing!

It had me stumped for a little while but I got it figured. Called a few people and we went through some things but still couldn't get it started finally I double checked the Starter Solenoid wire that goes into the fuse box and found that when I depinned the connector and reinstalled it I put it in the wrong location where there's no corresponding pin in the fuse box! Fixed that and she started right up!!!!!

Thanks for the help Jeremy and Dre!
