i have had this car since '97, drove it for maybe a total of 20 months between spring 97 till fall 01. as of 01 the car had 72,000 miles on it. in 06 it got a new motor but never got used, now in 14 its running again so it must be time to wrap up all the odds and ends and give the poor thing a new coat of paint.

after pressure washing away the black widows and years of dust
motors back together enough for its first start-up in years
after starting the car it ran not so happy..... turns out i never installed the c2 software. checkout how awesome the c2 package is after 8years of moving around the shop
nice thing about shipped packages is the date stamps...... if this were a kid id be taking it to school by now ha ha
some late night plasma fun.. the air filter and fender didn't get along, fender lost. i plan to run big bumpers so this should be covered by the bumper.
once i get more time the KPTuned pnp ms3x ecu will get installed and tuning will begin.
tossing this into here so i dont loose it........... next time i touch the car its getting an obd2 scan port so i can log into the c2 chip and adjust things.
