Default It's alive!!!!!!!

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.

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.
