Hey everyone nice to meet you all. My name is Robert and i have been assigned chassis #22. I've rebuilt a few sport bikes, a couple cars, and a couple semi trucks. But this is the first kit car build. The donor was the first thing i secured before putting my deposit. Hopefully this motor is good because the oil pan is cracked, i have the replacement on the way.

I got the car started but immediately shut off maybe either due to low coolant from a broken coolant radiator or for crash shutdown due to the airbags which will not clear. Either way. Disassembly has begun to start labeling connectors, small hoses and start getting the engine almost ready to pull so I can move the car over to my storage unit and continue there.

Started posting on my YouTube channel for this build. Already took the engine and trans off. I have some tips there on a few things. But overall very easy.
