Post First start up Saturday 5:30pm.. you are invited

I have had several PM's asking if people can attend my 1st run in.

I have decided to open this to all who would like to come down and see it. This is not going to be an event, just a few guys standing around the car while I bring it up to temp and go for a trip around the block. Then it is back into the garage for a head stud tightening and fluid change.

The paint work won't be 100% complete, so you'll have to turn a blind eye to that.. but the rest is good to go.

PM me if you would like directions.

Will this be your first time starting the car since the ill fated rebuild, or is it just the first time you will be driving it? I can't imagine you were able to do all that work without at least starting the engine.

I'm not going to fly over, but you can count on me keeping my thumbs up for you! It'll be sweet, just remember to fill the tank up before you go <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Watch the t-belt breaks or the motor catches fire again. OUCH. I'm saying this cause I dont wanna jinx the moment. Kinda like how you say "break a leg" instead of "good luck".
