Default finally running

I took me about 6 years but I fainally got it to run
Sorry for the crappy quality but I only had my phone available

I would have gotten it to run sooner but I had no oil pressure and I had to put on a new oil pick up tube and new seal for it.It still needs a good tune and a few nicknacks hear n there before the nitrous goes in

Yea congrats. My car hasn't been on the highway in almost 3 years and is getting H/C soon so I feel I'm in the same boat as you. I know I'll be thrilled to start driving mine again.

Congrats on getting it back on the road man, but you cant be serious with those tail lights.

I almost threw up a little in my mouth.

.I got it at the dealer.Cant' remember what I paid for it. Its not too bad just drop the k member and unbolt the engine mounts.Make sure you have jackstands and a floor jack on the engine.I didn't disconnect anything other than the struts motormounts and k member and of course the oilpan related parts.Just watch your brake lines because they were stretched uncomfortably far for me.Oh and make sure you have extra jackstands on the k member to help lower it little by little and dont let it slide of of the floor jack because it will try and roll backwards
