Chad, glad to see some progress on the car. Looks good.

Thanks Brett. Doug and I had lunch today so he got to hear all about the latest in person. And actually, part of it was me telling him how I seem to keep adding to my list of opportunities for the "I told you so" from you!!

Damn I'm feeling goooooooooood right now!!!

Fired up the motor for the first time today. Still a ton or work to do on the car but I definitely feel like I'm on the other side now

Was holding the phone the wrong way so this video looks lame but here is my first ever attempt to start my new Mast motor.



PS F*UCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Chad!!!

I say leave it uncorked for a while just to let the neighbors know who's boss...

There's nothing like your first "fire up" (OK there is but this is a G rated site )

CONGRATS!!

Sounds like a winner Bobby!

ha ha. The "to do" list is still pretty long but I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.

- enhaust
- Misc wire clean up in the engine compartment
- wire up the A/C compressor as well as get new ends crimped on the lines and charge the system
- Remount front bumper (I have to many paint blemishes that were hidden by the bumper before and I still like the look)
- Mount front spoiler
- grease suspension mounts
- Probably have to bleed the clutch
- clean up wiring under dash
- Figure out some miracle to route the heater/AC ducts with the new computer mount in the way (in place of glovebox)
- rewire the transmission harness (was cut from tunnel being fixed)
- rewire all the trunk stereo stuff (speakers, amps, etc)
- put the interior back together (possibly need to buy new carpet since the shifter moved)
- Take the car to TCI to get help sorting out the suspension.

You probably weren't wanting to see that detailed of a list and I'm probably forgetting a bunch of stuff but that is the general idea.
