hope to hear some good news! don't forget to put gas in it, right chuzie? even fancy EFI engines don't run so well w/out it.

It runs!!!!! :bdent:
Cleaned a few grounds and a new battery and it fired right up. Have a few leaks to fix - trans cooler lines, PS etc.... but overall a good day!

Lots of Leaks to deal with and a finiky Starter switch also and no Gauge's working either.It is Loud and idles like a Kitten though even with no Exhaust on it.

Good deal! Bet that was an awesome feeling. One big step closer!!

Most of the leaks are fixed ... still have a radiator leak but what 40 year old radiator doesn't leak something? That will be one of the first upgrades once it's rolling I'm sure.
Gauges work now - bad ground and the 12V to the gauges had a blown fuse.
Brake lines next. We already have them plumbed to the rear so really only have to plumb the front brakes and hook up calipers.

Was wondering how you were making out. Keep plugging away at it!

Took it for a trip down to the pond after work. The motor is running very well. It has a lot of squat/rise in the rear suspension that I've got to work out and definitely some limit straps & bump stops in the near future. You can barely see Jessica ducking down behind the dash on the pass. side.
