So fast forward to today. After being back up at my dad's house for a few months he delivered it back to me. Driveline is in, exhaust installed yesterday, lights are working, she's ready to roll! I got home from work today to find it sitting in the driveway, key in the ignition....
Feels good to drive it down the road, it still has some issues to work out but nothing that'll stop me from cruising the neighborhood. Sitting up so high with the doors open, no seatbelt and old, not really round tires is a bit odd!
