It does run. I actual drove it tonight. Kinda tuff with no lights, but I had to run it through the gears once. Replaced the fuel lines that looked like soaker hoses, Redid all the wiring and got rid of the busted up flares. Now if the weather cooperates I get to race it on Sunday. I will have some pictures by the end of the week, hopefully a few of it in autocross action.

That roll cage looks like a death trap.

This from a guy who drives a Corrado and home-built a dune buggy? :laughing:
