FINALLY, YES...YES I went for my first ride yesterday!!! After knowing the car for almost 4 years
Went to the gas station and filled up with : HIGH TEST then stoped every 5 minutes to check the engine, oil, smoke, flames.... So proud of myself the car rides very clean. then i went to rockville and without going to much over 4k RPM the car really sound healthy.

Still need to finish to buff the paint...

Question: the speedo doesn't work or i should say sometimes, how to fix a short(when i play with the other switch, the speedo needle moves).

Thank you.

Next upgrade:brakes- carrera chain tensionner

Congrats on getting it done and on the road!

Speedo could be connection at the back ... pull out and check.

If you aren't gonna track it the SC brakes are pretty robust and easily up to the job of daily driving. Even if you are gonna track it ... the SC brakes (with right pads) are fine.
