gronlit Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Been a slow process so far but finally started the engine for the first time today, pretty great to see some work pay off. My dad purchased the car ~30years ago and it wasn't running at that time and he never got around to fixing it up. He gave it to me when i graduated college and I've been slowly working on it for about 10years now. http://youtu.be/N0cEWXefXXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Wasn't that a great feeling when you first got it running! It's almost like being a kid again at Christmas time. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gronlit Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks All!, It was pretty surreal when it started and stayed running. It went much smoother than I anticipated; other than fixing a couple cooling leaks no issues. Now onto the daunting task of body work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
