- Ready to fire the engine. Had to go thru some gyrations to get the oil pump to start pumping oil.
- Fired up & it purrs like a kitten

- All systems go, its now a running green machine. 
- Back to the Body shop for the installation of the fenders, doors, windows, bumpers & hatch.
- Took some time to get all the parts back on but on  Oct. 9 I took it out for a spin around the block
- Well the good news its all together, the bad news springs were installed at the wrong locations.
- So back down to RB Import to remove all 4 struct housings and swap the springs. 
- RB welded the tailpipe extender in place looks good
- Well more news the left rear toe is off. Currently working on a solution.
- Sure does look pretty.
