DVD player/GPS Navi works with my two speakers so far
Fuel pump works
Fans Work
Push button Starter works and engine turns over. Sounds mean as hell!
Horn Works
Headlights and tail lights work
Interior Lights Work
Turn Signal Works
Battery Shut off works
Fuel Pressure gauge works
Voltmeter gauge works
Back up lights work

Need to do:
Spark Plug wires
install dash gauge cluster
Install seats
Put fuel in it
Door Sills

Once i get it running i'll need to do:
Get the exhaust coated
Steering Alignment
Dynoed
Get a rearend seal fixed [Frown]

How did you get the motor to turn over and sound mean without any plug wires or fuel?

i turned the key to see if the starter would turn the motor over, it didn't start it just sounded really deep and throaty when it turned over.

Ran into some issues today
Clutch was leaking and so was the heater hose connected to the underside of the water pump the worst possible place to fix. Fixed both though
Got the dash/gauges in was a pain in the ass. Also my DVD player won't play DVDs cause i didn't know i had to ground that stupid parking brake wire, i thought if i didn't hook it up it would work. So i got to fix that tomorrow.

I will, i hope to get everything done that needs to be done to start it today.

Came out to work on it and the damn waterpump connector for the heater line is still leaking. We just finished tightening it more and now we're waiting to see if it will still leak. Its a pain cause we have to drain all the coolant out take the hose off, tighten the fitting, put the hose back on and then fill it

Thanks i figured it was the camera phone quality.
Nothing went smoothly today, i "kinda" fixed the one and then i noticed another and the other one won't fix unless i tear apart the entire front of the engine [Frown] Timing chain and all. no water in the oil so i beleive its just the timing chain/water pump bolt. i am going to start the motor with the leaks and hope the metal swells and closes off the leaks, if not i will fix them after i get ti started and my exhaust is getting coated. Clutch started leaking but i think we fixed that, still didn't bleed it cause i spent all day on leaks. The only thing i did fix was getting the dvd player to play dvds. So i am kinda disappointed.
