I just looked for you in my diff housing. Liar.

I'm there. You just can't see me. Look for those little sparkly bits floating around in your trans oil.
#186
So you're shiny and go about your life leaping from ff to 4k box?

Well it is official the car is back in my hands and have some work to do to put it back on the road. Here is how it is now, this picture was taken before the tow truck showed up to tow it.

Update:
Picked up the ECU from kenny (thank you), installed door pins, cleaned the spark plugs, fixed the ground wire for the oxygen sensor, clean and fixed the coil wire, and installed the ecu.
Car took a minute and came back to life, but come to find out due to the previous ECU causing the injectors to stay on constantly it dumped alot of gas which got into the oil. So now, I am going to be changing the oil and the oil filter next weekend. So besides the oil change, I have to clean the wiring inside the car, replace the dash bezel, reinstall the lower dash, replace the lisc plate tub in back and then take the car to get smogged.
Here is the pictures from today and the one of the quick fixs to get the car running again.

Update:
Oil is drained by a club member of sacwater. Have new oil and oil filter for the car that will be going on in the next couple of days with the help from one of the sacwater club members. But still can't drive the car for about a month.

Today with the help of Kyle again. Drain plug installed with new washer, installed the fuse box plastic clips to hold it in place, temporary fix one of the spark plug wires, put new oil in and fired the car up. The car needs lifters, find out exactly where the exhaust leak is, adjust the idle, replace the spark plugs, replace the spark plug wires and reinstall the lower dash.
#193
In about a month, the car will be back on the road after some work and parts replaced.
#194
Car is still sitting, waiting for me to get healed from my work injury to start working on it again.
#195
Started the car up again and let it run for a little bit. Changed the wheels, only could put on three and had to put a spare on where the fourth would be. Still have to get the fourth wheel repaired. Still need to clean up some more wires underneath the dash, reinstall the lower dash, get some clips for the outside trim, replace the valve cover gasket, replace the spark plug wires, wash it and then smog it.
Here is with the other wheels on the car.
