starter motor arrived monday. 

after a quick strip down, blow all the rust off it and lube the bearings it was finally going in the vice

bolted it in and started pretty good for something that has been sitting for 6 years  :)

decided to take it for a lap around the block on tuesday

goes mint. no cruncking in the gearbox 

 

bad points

needs wheel alignment bad

shocks are fucked, dives hard under braking 

 

after a shit attempt of a garage burn out, found out its got a LSD    :compress:
