ready to fire...

Post by v6spider »

Got an ignition module, polished stainless steel heater hoses, oil, filter, anti-freeze, header collector gaskets, and a water temp gauge for Christmas. all I need now is a heater core. Although I'm thinking about bypassing it so I can fire the engine..

I need to do some repair work to the dash first. I have to fix the mounting points for the dash panel. I'm going to use fiber glass I think to do it.. And yes it is very exciting and I'm also thinking about if there is anything I missed.. Lol

Cheers!
