Well.......We are getting to the point of making a mess of a decent job so far.........A/C lines.....Power Steering lines and Reservoir......Inter Cooler Pump and lines....... Heater hoses.......Lines all over and no neat way to get there........Oh well........It's a garage built driver and it is what it is.........I'll order heat shrink clamps for all the water lines and get them sealed up....

turn your fill cap counterclockwise after the circuit is full...it shouldn't stay in the straight up position...not that big of a deal.

After getting most of the Engine compartment "Stuff" hooked up.......I got the Intercooler system filled and Bled.....So I decided to install the rest of the sheet metal so I can get the ECM and forward wiring system installed.......Starting to look like a car again...........

Amazing car! I wish I can be riding inside that car when you start hurting people feelings, especially those Honda go cart owners.

Stay tuned....

That car looks Very familiar, any chance that car came from CT at one time?

I did an Engine overhaul Restoration on a car Identical to that.
