So after a long month or two i will finally get to here her run tomorrow. To give y'all a little background..i purchased a car that didn't have anything I needed..i was lied to, but it's my fault since I purchased a car being 7 thousand miles away.. i spent 4k in parts alone including engine to get it to the stage it's at now. Things are finally starting to look up! For the past month the news was only getting worse..ill get the final bill soon and boy I cant wait!! After the heart transplant I'll being slowing down on this build and just enjoying the ride!!

Yeah brother I got bamboozled! I wasn't there to really examine the car! The 305 they started to install that the previous owner didn't finish was trashed. Even tho he told me over the phone all it needed was to be connected..that was a lie nothing I mean nothing worked..bad battery bad radiator bad hoses missing everything..but I cant wait to see his response when I send him a video of it running tomorrow

It may be my inner jackass, but if you haven't told him off already I'd lie back to him and say the 305 ran great. But if you already did, all the better to basically give him the finger with the progress the car's made now.

Lol that's actually a very good idea.
I just may let him hear the 305 run
