> [@maxwell](#): > > How close are you nowww? > > (Shit my www key is sticking now.) Well it ran but only for a few sec then I killed it cause it was so late. So I need to see what types of troubleshooting are coming my way. In a perfect world it just needs a full tune and for me to put the interior back in(4hrs). ---

haha well I am taking today off as I have actually been sick and don’t think I have sat down for more then 30min in the last few weeks but we are working on it again tomorrow I believe. I am really happy it runs. I was smiling from ear to ear last night. But yeah I made the car a full roller already so it is pretty close. ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > we are working on it again tomorrow I believe. I can confirm that we are…I’m thinking about taking a few hours off to get there earlier, thoughts? I have roughly 4-6 hours of wiring left to make sure everything is working properly. But, I don’t see why we can’t wire, put in the interior, and get it to the point where it would be ready to drop once you are comfortable with taking it down. > [@cougarspeed](#): > > I am really happy it runs. I was smiling from ear to ear last night. This is true. I’ve never seen this guy more happy…:tup: It is coming together. ---

It now runs and pretty well at that. Looks to be leaking a bit from the oil drain. I tightened the flange bolts and it looked like it stopped for awhile then later tonight it leaked again wtf! I will pull it off nd replace the gasket next time I work on it. Overall it is doing really well! A few people took vid of it running today maybe someone will post up or I should maybe get a decent vid tomorrow. Soooooo Luke L came over tonight to finish up the wiring(he is my hero) then we started putting the interior in. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1326.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1326.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1333.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1333.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1337.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1337.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1341.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1341.jpg) Everything that was under the hood all behind the drivers seat now.
