3.5 years and I got my car started **VIDEO**

I figured I'd upload a quick little video of my car running. It has taken me 3.5 years to get to this point and after hearing this bad boy run it was all worth it. The camera was a little too close to the car, so it doesn't sound as good as it does in person but you'll get the point.

Sounds really good. How about telling us a little about it and some pics of the work you have done to this point? Sounds like a stout engine.

I bought the car as a driver I could fix up. That lasted a whole week. I then decided to gut the whole car and start over. When money was tight I refurbished pieces I had and fixed what I could. Stock piled parts for almost 2 years and recently started putting everything back together. Suspension will be next on the list once I finally put a few miles on her. I just got the TV cable all adjusted and this week will be my first drive of the car. I've had a lot of help along the way and with out the internet and friends I'd be lost. Learned a lot along the way.

How about some pics.
