It made it out of the garage...first time on its own power in 3 years....I have no rear brakes as I line is burst...taking it to Mechanic by me to get a new line fabricated...andwill have him do the brakes...bleed and replace...as they were locked.....and look pretty crappy.... but it runs and does not stall....

due to rear brake line rupture and part not arriving in time...I had to pass on Island...my brake line fabricating skills leave much to be desired...there are somethings I leave to the pro's......i finished up my rats nest of underdash wiring......

Better call up Straud and get a parachute for BPG to back up your brake job

Did ya get brake fluid all over the driveway? I'm calling the EPA!

I am just about finished with the re-wiring job myself. 1 ground and time to test.

I only change brakes...when it comes to lines I leave it up to the Pro's...I did drive it up on the Trailer....that was scary...
