I figure at this price I am making a $109 gain.

I'm going to let it go... The same guy is now buying my 1g shell as well I guess. LOL Nothing like making $730 off of two hunks of metal taking up space.

I'm keeping the car. The guy who wanted to buy both my Colt and 1g couldn't figure out a way to get both of the cars back home. Then he just wanted all if the suspension shit from the 1g. I just kind of said screw it after a week if no solid answer

Does anyone have a 1.5L or a 1.8L they'd sell? I'm looking to get this thing running ASAP.

I went and got an engine Saturday, then started prepping it for a timing belt and water pump. I'll be doing a few other little things to clean it up.

Shined up the engine bay a bit as well.

I went to our shop today with plans to just clean the main engine wiring harness. lol I was wrong. A few buddies of mine showed up, and by 10 or 11 tonight or "last night" (technically), everything was together and in, even though we did run into a little problem with my new throwout bearing completely the wrong one.

By the pictures I obviously still have to connect the wiring, fuel lines and get the battery set up. Not to mention mounting a radiator that I still need to source, and all the body parts. That will come in due time though.

My plans for tomorrow are to have the lower control arms and outer tie rods replaced Then get the shafts in and chip gaurd the wheel wells. Maybe I'll be able to get the interior back together too. lol

Thanks for looking!
