    last night was very exciting. we changed the oil, filters, gas, and checked valves for proper oiling, and everything went great. we then proceeded to hook up a battery, and to our surprise lights turned on! we'll have to get some new lights as some blew out, but the flashers, headlights, brake lights, and dash lights work. the inside does not, but I think we can probably replace the bulb and it worked fine.

    now for the exciting part... at 9:30 at night, we turned the key and to our surprise the engine cranked nicely! we had disconnected the fuel line so the engine would not start, but it cranked nice and all oilers are working... i'll post some movies this afternoon...

    Default YAHOO! (again.. :))

    tuesday was also a very exciting day for us... we got the rover to run! the fuel pump feed line has a leak, so we put a gas container on the roof and my dad ran a manual fuel pump... it started a little rough, but after a few tries it started up and sounded like a normal (but rather loud ...) motor.

    as we were cranking the engine to test the spark plugs, it even started firing on three cylinders!

    next project is to get the fuel pump going, then we'll look into the clutch and see what condition the transmission is in...

    we will be sending out an order to RN for new brake lines and some fuel lines in the next week or so...

    we also got a movie of it running and of us cranking it for the first time, i'll put that up tonight or tomorrow!
