Nice work Benji. Your professional prognosis says the vehicle ran with probably just water, is this from the previous owner or probably oversight on your side while working on the car? .
At this point you've built a solid car which should be reliable going forward, enjoy it.
Awesome Benji, you are a true "Fanatic" ............. Would like to see that "old beast" when you are totally finished with her ..... great stuff and keep updating us
