    After letting it bake outside for months I finally got a chance to get back out there... still not running but Im picking up the motivation to get it going. Sort-of-spoiler on the video, I decided to install my Nardi Steering Wheel to feel like its becoming my own. Luckily I have my Habibi MrBurgundy to reply to my texts and I think Im on the right track.





    The wood doesnt match perfect, but I think I will rock it until I get an offer on the Steering Wheel itself.

        True... BUT have you had my Turkish Coffee yet? I will drive to you and make you the most delicious cup of crack that will get you from 0-100 faster than this car will get to 60mph

          Late to the party here, but I suggest hitting up 190rev if that's still around. I remember reading about fuel accumulators being problematic on these.

            190rev redirects straight to Facebook and we know how much fun THAT place is...

              Those fuel accumulators are problematic but will give you long hot cranks

                  well well well.... this MIGHT be a f'n reason this car wont start...



                  This appears to be a A/C Compressor relay for a 6 cylinder car, pin-outs on the back do not match what the 4 cylinder fuel pump relay should have.

                  Hoping to have my hands on one tomorrow and we will see if thats been the issue.

                  Stay tuned...
