After 10 months, $1500 in parts, a assload of time spent searching for the best deals, and alot of work period the hatch should start today. Lastnight I got my ecu, conversion harness ready, charged my battery, added fluids. TodayI will be replacing coolant clamps/hoses and doing what ever small stuff to hopefully get it to run. I did a run down lastnight to see what all bulbs/lights I need for it, need a brake light, headlight bulbs, and front park light/signal light bulbs. The dash lit up like a christmas tree, I need to replace a couple bulbs in the cluster but other than that is should be ready today. After that all i will need are axles, transmission fluid, a oil change, and a exhaust to get it on the road. I do really need a drivers side door also but it is not a absolute must as of now.

Should be loud as I will start it with a open header/mid pipe.

 

WOOO!!!! man, if i were in your position i would be pumped

 

I am pumped. Tired of it sitting. This car has tested me in a mental kind of way. Getting every small out of the way part over a long period of time and pretty much making something out of nothing is a lil bit stressfull and ****'s you off from time to time though. Glad I have stuck with it though.

May not be fast, may not be pretty, but I put this car together from nothing but a body with windows in it.

 

^ Tight. Needs paint if I recall, right?

 

lol **** needs paint and a couple of other things but it will come fairly soon after I get her going

 

Man, mad props on you for sticking with it. and once it is done it will still be faster then my car

 

cool marty glad to see your hatch coming together

 

You know what I'm waiting for man.

 

yea I'll let you know asap

 

thats gonna be a nice feeling after all the work and the car starts up
