    So i got around to starting it...kinda. It will start, but dies if you let the rpm drop below 2krpm. It has a B code Vaf and stock injectors. The previous owner stuck a screw in the vaf to hang it open , I'm going to amuse this was to keep the pump running. so i guess i'll start letting tension out of the spring.

      ^^^^^^^^ thats an easier fix, clip that little piece so it lets the fuel pump run as soon as you have ignition power & doesn't rely strictly on the VAF opening anymore.
      btw it also cuts starting times dramatically

        I'll give that a try, I feel like I'm fighting multiple issues at once with this.

          So I messed with it some more and realized I could hear fuel returning to the tank. Popped the return line off the sending unit and I'm basically getting full flow back to the tank with the regulator at atmosphere. I have a second regulator I'll try after work.

            Got it to run, vaf was just tuned like 30 clicks off from where I needed it, last owner had it pretty tight.

              Nice going. Must feel good to have the engine idle like that. This is motivation to keep going!

                Yeah especially since it sat for 4 years. Now comes the process of actually putting it back together.

                    Made an Ace hardware shift bushing kit.


                    Also took it for its first drive in 5 years, just up the street and back , but still big step. That unsprug 3 puck isn't to bad.

                        small update.
                        did the front wheel bearings


                        and got some goodies in the mail.

                        I almost don't want to put it on the car considering how much I paid for it...


                        Test fit...and now the sanding begins.


                        engine bay still needs some cleaning up now that i know it runs.

                              tried my hand at painting , im using a FUJI thankless HPLV spray gun, sounds like a shop vac but works pretty well not a fan of how close you have to spray tho.

                              all primerd


                              I tried a flat white base with a pearl mid and a matte clear ...i used a little too much flattener and the pearl didn't show through the clear.


                              So then i went full gloss ...but i rushed becasue I was loosing sun light , looked awesome in the right light...but I had a ton crud in the clear and the bugs came out and ruined every thing...had the gun too far away and got lots of orange peal




                              I did a test fender with with a 2:1 ratio instead of the recommended 1:1 ratio. don't mind the bugs, It was a test anyway.



                              So now I'm block sanding the car down to the base coat and i'm going to respray with the new ratio this weekend.
