After many months of disassembly, cleaning, assembly, beer, the car runs!

Congrats! Glad it is running.

Better check the tension on the timing and balance belts. That puppy is whining like a 2 year-old who wants a lolly!

The video sound is not representative of that actual noise of the engine. It's not as loud, quite comforting~!

Just using a Samsung Android pad something. Anyway, today was maiden voyage day! Bought the car two years ago, let the birds have their way with it, and now, drove the car for the first time. Bought it with a bad rubber center clutch, so, didn't drive it then.

Forgot how ugly the car actually is, lots of dents, at least the pretty cars on the track will give me plenty of room~!

Headlight mechanism is disconnected due to the turbo oil cooler interfering with it. Thursday project.

Dueling '88's.
