I've driven the 45 miles up to Cali-ti's place four times in order to work on my car. thanks to the people on this forum i had a bunch of parts to install before driving my car. today i buttoned up the project and started it for the first time in almost 3 years! the car ran smooth with an awesome idle. i put it in gear and backed it out of the garage...drove it about one half mile before returning to the house. i took some pictures and parked it back inside of the garage. two problems popped-up. coolant over-flow tank has a small leak...and the transmission needs more fluid (or it's dying!). lol those will be fixed here soon. but, Zippy's Alive!!! pic #1: still on jack stands & ramps pics #2-6...after drive photo shoot! still covered in 3 years of dust. lol __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 12-27-2011, 02:47 AM | #2 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | looks great man!
