UPDATE
It runs!
This car took a back seat while I worked on my racecar, but I finally got a few hours to work on it this week.
Finished up the timing belt, alt belts, drained the gas tank (gas wasnt that bad), put the battery from my other car in, put a few gallons of premium along with a couple bottles of fuel injector cleaner and.....voila
fired right up, despite a couple bonehead moves like
1. forgetting to put coolant/water in it.
2. forgetting to change the oil (didnt even show anything on the dipstick)
had some NASTY top end tick, but some seafoam and fogging the neighborhood fixed most of that
the best part is that the stereo and speakers sound MUCH better than what i have in any of my other cars! :lol:
I ditched the hideous white wheels, took an old set of stock wheels and painted them bronze. (btw, Lee that is the bronze wheel paint I told you about, although its a little lighter in person)
