It's alive..

So On Saturday I decided to get going on the 88'. I got it tuned up and fired it. It amazes me that the car ran with 3 wires crossed (previous owner is not exactly mechanical) LOL. So on went the new parts and it fired right up and idled like it should.

I even took it around the block. No problems with the shifting. The open exhaust is a little loud and cause of a little fuel mixture issue but thats getting fixed this week.


I can not wait to get everything done on it and start driving it on the road daily.
