Before we started pulling crap off of it, just hooked up the batt charger (yea right, like a battery in an unheated Michigan garage is any good) and aired up the tires(gonna need new rear ones).
After cranking it and pumping the gas for a a minute, stoping to give the charger and starter a break and trying again IT RAN, on 10+year old gas. when it fired up I ran and got the camera to shoot this.
Then we rolled it out.

Sorry about margin rape and crap pics, my cam was in macro mode:oops: .
Things I learned today:
-Push starting a car (I only stalled once, dad stalled multiple times and he has driven manuals before)
-driving a stick shift(sort of, I now have rolling around in first figured out)
Things I attempted to learn today, but failed:
-finding reverse! (no shift pattern sticker)
Things that need fixing:
-Trans is leaking oil cause somebody messed up the rearend, the backing plates on the brakes are gone!
-wiring is an unlabeled, unfused, fire hazard, rats nest thats been painted black. Switches and bare wiring hanging from dashboard.
-Steering gearbox needs replacement
