  15. Worked on the coupe for about 30 hours this weekend. Didn't take a lot of pictures but got a lot done. Got the wiring done, exhaust hung, everything under the car is finished, engine is all wired up with exception of battery cables, and got the hood and radiator shell on. Also got the hood straps done.

    finish the horn
    replace taillight bulbs with some that actually fit
    wire up the passing light
    fill coolant and tranny fluids
    put the fuses in
    crimp and hook up the battery cables
    test out everything
    start engine
    drive!!!

  27. Well we got the car running late tonight but its running like crap. We got some timing issues to work out. Once that is done then I will take some video. We also had a few leaks we had to fix.

    In the meantime here are a couple of pics of it outside the garage and some of my fancy overflow bottle
