After a year of work cleaning up the undercarrage, painting the engine compartment, rebuilding the engine, getting the car ready for the 5 speed conversion, and performing the 5 speed swap.

My car finally drove for the first time in almost a year last night. The timing and idle may still need to be adjusted a little, but the car is running good. I'm putting insurance on it today, getting my registration tomorrow and should have safety inspection done by this weekend!

I'm on the road again!!!

 

conrats !

by the way, what state you live in that you need a saftey inspection? or is it for personal reasons?

 

Texas.

All cars require a manditory state inspection for $14. I need to connect my front blinkers and fix a contact on the horn to get it legal.

 

YAY! now you can spend more time with us away from the Stereo section..

 

ahh gotcha.

well congrats again, i know i lucked out HARD being able to buy a running/good shaped car from my grandma.

theres plenty of times though that i wish it needed more body work though haha

 

Congrats PReal! I bought a running/good shape mustang and it's still in the shop getting things fixed. I can't wait to get it out either and I still need to have it painted and a bunch of other things to get it where I want it.

Look forward to chatting more with you here.
