This week the part for the fuel filler neck came in, so we got the tank back in and are now changing out the valve cover gasket. After that we see if she runs on her own for the first time! Fingers crossed!

Week 16!?
Yes, it's been a while since I've posted, mainly because I've done no work on the car for nearly 4 and a half months...first due to financial issues, and second due to my first child being born earlier in the year! But at least now I have a co-driver. :)
So, to pick up, in the last week I've finally gotten around to doing some stuff, found some used tires to put on the car so it can be at least driven once it runs, the fuel pump is in, the car runs, and we did a full tune up with air filter/oil/oil filter/fuel filter/spark plugs/wires/trans filter/trans fluid. Almost ready to start driving!
Problems this week:
Minor-
Had to recharge battery after it sat with the car for months.
Used tires I found are mismatched.
Major-
Fuel filler neck is nearly completely rotted away, had to get another, had the choice of either modifying a universal one or ordering the actual one to fit the car, went ahead and ordered the actual, waiting for it to arrive.
