Sorry about the lack of updates guys, a few things have gone wrong with the car. get ready for an essay of gigantic proportions.
We had gotten it running for a little while and all of a sudden it just died and nothing was going on, so I took the fuel filter off and to my surprise it was saturated with rust. So I took the gas tank off and well its pretty much rusted on the inside 100 percent, I've been trying to clear out the rust but I really don't want to cut it in half and clean it and spray it, I am just afraid something will go wrong. I also need to replace the lines that carry the gas because those are also completely clogged with rust and most of my vacuum hoses need replacing
Then the DMV keeps sending me back from the safety check because of crappy little things I need to replace and fix on the car, for example one of my seat belts has a couple of loose fibers like it was smashed and someone pulled on it. I put the horn wired to a button by the dashboard and they say that I have to wire the one on the steering wheel because my little button isn't safe, problem is i cannot for the life of me figure out the wiring on the horn to the wheel.
Bodywork still needs to be done and I have zero moneys thanks to my financial aid not kicking this quarter, spent almost 2500 dollars on a couple classes at school. Summer is coming so work is picking up a lot, I really hope to be able to fix everything soon.
