Talking 14 years later, it's lives.....(vids)
She started up on the first turn of the key. Not even tuned yet and the power feels unreal! Hopefully a dyno tune will follow next week.

You can say that. Rear main seal was leaking, synchros where shot. So off the road it came in 1999. Got ignored for a while. Started the rebuild last year.

There's nothing better when it does, nothing more frustrating when it doesn't.

NICE! Mine's been in hibernation since Dec '05. And it's going to be at least another 2-3 years before I can start bringing her back to life.
