Default GOT IT STARTED!!!

finally after a month of working on it and working on it we finally got it started... now we only have to tweak some minor things like tightening down all the exhaust bolts on the flanges, they are leaking, and rotate the drive shaft because it kinda shutters when i got up to speed... then i am taking it to a mechanic tomorrow(friday, so technically today) to get it fine tuned and i will have a car back!

well if you would like to watch us after after we got it to run then here is a video!! i will admit that we were all excited and seem kinda dumb yelling and stuff but it was really loud in there! OPEN HEADERS in a GARAGE!!

click here for the video

thanks for anyone who offered help or advice... couldnt have done it without u!!

lol ya... i was concerned about my interior... didnt matter much because it was coming up from where the tranny lines up anyways lol... and the tastey girl is one of my friends girl friend.... i was tryin to get her to give me a thumbs up but she wouldnt... then u might have heard me say jerk and laughing as i walked away....

good deal its always fun to start a project youve been working on for a while, get some exhaust ran, some fluid in your tranny and get that biotch on the road!
