Clutch back in and about half the bottom buttoned up. If all goes well tonight late or tomorrow it should fire up. <crosses fingers>

Pictures you know where....

IT'S ALIVE! Running just fine right from the get go. One lifter is ticking, but I am sure it will fix itself.

Small problem with the clutch and the ABS and PSD are not working. Little things I can now start hacking away at. Need to still put the power steering pump back in and get new belts for the A/C and power steering, but all in all a very good day.

Took it for a ride down the road. Holy crap, has it been that long since I drove one? I was grinning from ear to ear!

Got everything under the hood back together. Car is much easier to steer when the power steering is hooked up...

The lifter has stopped ticking, so I am happy about that.

Now just the ABS and PSD. I am sure it has something to do with the two connectors I have left over in the CE area. Or a relay I may have dislodged. Or a fuse... or ....or

Hopefully will get the clutch out (again) and see what I did wrong and get that issue fixed... Anyone have any good ideas on how to get the release arm off when I just put a new bushing in? lol

Once these issues are fixed it's off to safety and e-test. Except for the bald rear tires which for safety I will throw on some manhole covers to get by.

Light at the end of the tunnel!

HA ha


The ABS just decided it had given me enough of a hard time and is now working again. Small heart attack when the oil pressure went to zero. Started breathing again when it came back up. Pad sensor alarm now.

So ya, I have some gremlins in there yet.
