threw an old ps pump on there today and bled the system out to see if i could get it to all work. The high pressure line on the drivers side by the engine mount had a split in it and all the fluid went back onto the floor. I found a couple more high pressure lines up in the attic and after an hour of climbing around in the grease and dirt , got it all hooked up and bled once again. Fired it up and wala! the ps works. I also pulled all the extra fuses and relays yesterday that we werent using anymore-which was most of them- and i dont think we have a draw on the battery anymore because it starts up on the first crank!

just went out and bled the brakes- and they work! Took it about a block down the street and back- shifted fine, drove ok, brakes ok-need to wear off the rust on the rotors- and engine feels great. Now to find a shop vac to clear out some of the debris inside.

Dan, I have no idea how old the clutch is. I bought it in Feb '04 and it didn't come with any kind of history.

well we'll be chancing it on the clutch- it feels good so we are running with it.

-got some aluminum from Andy tonite and built the cover for the HVAC location. Alittle silicone and some body bolts and wala. Also got the special racing shift **** installed before i took it for a short drive down the street and back. Not bad.

That car has a Blood cars fender, and a cursed cars door on it.
