congrats, I've found that my car doesnt work more often than it works, 5K into a car that is worth 3K just pisses me off

I was worried it would explode because I rebuilt a carburator for it, re-ran gas and brake lines, new intake manifold, rewiring of most everything and I did it myself. Remember I am a 'geek,' the sun scares me, and computers are my friend. Lets just say I am an attention whore and damn proud.

Ill post pics... eventually (once I start body work)

I know from experience that you get great satisfaction after fixing something or building something, I've built cars before, I've built my current car and then took everything that was on it off for daily driving, It's the best when you take a while to get everything together and then once you do and it turns over and starts is like music to your ears.

I'm in the process of swapping an 91 engine into an 82 chasssis (An 82 BMW 320i, and a 91 318i engine) it's a fun project, but I don't have the time I need to get alot of it done now. But I can relate to the idea of working on a car and having it come out right. I replaced the suspension and driveshaft on it previously, and was very happy when it all come together perfectly. And installing my own stereo system was sweet too.
