Gave up on her.... for now. :(

A little background story

I got this car in pieces. Everything you could unbolt, was in a box. The engine was in a few boxes and most parts were not reusable.

I still gave her a shot. First I built a nice half bridge for her, new bearings, almost new rotor housings, new tids and bits here and there.
I even painted the engine bay before installing the engine, and got her fender mounted mirrors for fun

Engine installed, no fuel .... no power reached the fuel pump. Its all good, I can still try.
After a few seconds of cranking ... no spark. WTF? I had spark 5 minutes ago...

Wiring is quite messed up, the hand of man was here before me....

I have my other 7 in the same place, and this one barely fits, working was complicated with an extra car on the way, so ... she had to move to a storage until I finish the other 7.

Pics to make this thread worthy
