***Updated November 7th, 2008***

07Nov08:  Well the engine is in... having issues with the harness fitment... vacuum lines are a pain figuring out... slight oil leak... and i absolutely love it!

15Sep08:  Ok so i finally got the house done (pulled the carpet for some hardwood flooring) so now ive got my money and my time back on track.  Heres what ive got so far after this weekend


And the interior view... ive got about 50 percent done, but like i said, ive got training to get too. So the car had to get put back together asap. Then of course she doesnt start when i try to get her moving again lol. Fixed that one fast though. Im pretty proud of what she looks like today even if shes kinda "in between" evolutions. But if you look back at what she has been i think i did damn good in saving her from the life of a daily driven ricer.
