thanks guys...
and correct you are sir... the timing was majorly screwed up.
and they replaced the ignitor and there were two wires they tinkered with.
but all in all mainly the timing... cost me 210 dollars, and was worth every penny!
and i know joe.... can't wait to see yours once you get the engine back in.
but i know the feeling of not being able to drive it... it took since summer until now
to finally be able to get my baby running!

I'm thinking today is a good day to start putting on some of the interior items i got from vincent doggy.
i'm thinking i'll start off small with just the shift boot, center console cover, and carbon fiber mirror cover, which might i add is EXTREMELY SEXY.
i'll post pictures of the progress later tonite.

do you have to like stitch those interior pieces on? i saw one car with them at a meet last year and they deff. look awesome! i thought it was all new lol
I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop- 6GC for Life ->Semper Fi<1994 Cupra :p 3sgte1995 Celica ST DD1969 Chevelle SSalllll balls. P2 approved!
i haven't really looked into the how to on the seat covers yet but something like that ...
i know on the center console cover its best to stitch it tight before you put the screws back on so it has a tighter look to it

true story... i just got to the point where i said, i'm done with this, i need it running and i need it running now.
so all in all i figure it turned out pretty well... i still think i saved myself a ton of money doing everything else myself... i don't even want to think what it would of cost to have them pull the old engine, pull the other engine, put in all new gaskets, and then switch everything over then drop it back in and hook it all up and still have to time it and what not.
we'd of been talking some serious moola.
