The Surprise was a HIT!
I presented my wife with her car, running and driving on Saturday for her birthday. She thought it was still a pile of parts in the garage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm6JZ...&feature=g-upl I love her face! She had NO clue.  She couldn't get enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MWip...&feature=g-upl

Re: The Surprise was a HIT!
I think that it still is a pile of parts sitting in the garage.... You just took the time to put them back together in the correct order and configuration. Great job and congratulations!

Re: The Surprise was a HIT!
I got her up to 55 by GPS (rebuilt speedo is 10mph off??) and it also does this... on accident. It has tons of engine vibration though.

Re: The Surprise was a HIT!
Great story, and video. Wish you'd left the music out of it though. It overwhelms the great "A" sound

Re: The Surprise was a HIT!
Priceless, I'd be proud to own a pile of parts like that. Oh I just remembered it's my birthday on Wednesday. I would willingly accept a pile of parts like that if you could manage it.
Well done mate.
