wheee!

That's crazy how easy you make things look Matt! You need to move closer.... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Thumbs up for taking the safe route and inspecting everything properly. No shortcuts here! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Nice dogs Matt! I knew we had a lot in common. I've owned Bostons and bulls for years too. Sadly they're all gone now.

Pure car Pron! Nice work Matt! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Do you wire wheel polish the flat metal parts too or just the nuts and bolts? Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

It's running... But that's it. I just landed in New Brunswick for a month long course. The garage rebuild starts when I get back in May. Then the teardown!!! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Great progress Matt! I'm surprised you didn't go with the HID headlight upgrade tho... After having them in my other cars I can't go back to halogen! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Awesome thread idea Patcon. I will be buying the Caswell kit this year too. I already have a 240v 60amp power supply so I should be good there. Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your progress! Mark

I plan a trip to Saskatoon soon I think.... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Yup. I bought a sandblasting cabinet and I will be ordering a caswell plating system soon. All the hardware will be redone in copycad. Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

I was hoping it would come with some awesome black licorice too but instead Chas sent me a nice engine inspection light lens as a bonus. What an upstanding gentleman he is! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Just received my rubber insulator kit from Chas in the Netherlands! Thanks Chas!

I'm sending my seats to Matt.... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Looks good Matt!

I am fortunate to be in the beginning stages of my resto, so I can wait a while for this. BUT, it would be great to have it tested and proven on the street while I'm waiting! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

There is always someone with more dollars than sense... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Looking good!

I did detect a small fuel leak on the fuel rail near an injector hose. That again is not big deal as I will probably install a pallnet rail during the rebuild. Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

No where on the same level as your first start video, but i sure feel better knowing the major mechanical systems are all functioning before teardown. The only system not giving me a reading was temp sensor and I didn't get a chance to check the electrical connection. Car stayed at around 1700 rpm at idle so some minor issues there. Heater controls, clock, voltmeter, alternator, lights etc all worked. Wiper motor struggled to move but failed so it probably needs some love too. All in all I have a solid baseline now.

This is the newer ECU with the DIPS, yes....

Bwah ha ha! A few whacks on the fuel pump and... It lives!! https://vimeo.com/122579457 Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Congrats and enjoy the ride...!

Weather sucked and my wife decided we were doing taxes Sunday... Oh well, now I know how much I can spend on the car! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Just ordered EuroDats fuel and clutch line rubber insulator kit! These are getting harder to source, might as well get it now... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
