thanks guys . and i'm trying to get it running first. needs a new engine harness, just gonna make one . and its missing a few other parts before i can even try to start it. out of all the missing parts so far i've sourced for little or nothing money wise a honda civic half radiator , an elecrtic slim fan but i still need a water neck for the coolant temp regulator housing , radiator hoses that will fit the 3tc and civic radiator , and a battery . I also accumulated these few parts for free ;a set of ebay strut tower braces , a short ram intake that i'd like to try and install and one of those gawd aweful huge monster tachs with shift light from the late 90's rice era haha . i hope to build that harness soon and see if the 3tc is still run-able . if not i been thinking SBC swapped in might be kinda cool but not sure if i wanna mess with the headache of upgrading the suspension to hanlde the extra weight . I got this car in a trade for a 5th of ever clear and a mac tools drill bit set and a little cash . just wanting to have fun with it . build something fun to drive . not trying to build a track or show car just something unique and i dont have alot of extra money at this time so kinda rat rodding it together with what ever i can find for cheap or free. and actually im also building the electrcal harness from a harness i pulled out of a big caterpillar loader that was totalled in an accident :D . will update when i complete more tasks
