How did the title thing work out? Did you have to get a salvage title?

I remember the original post. Some negativity questioning your ability and enthusiasm. I thought at that time I hope he shows us all. I admire your attitude and drive

Konrad you did a good job. You also did it in record time! Did you get the title straight yet? Seems like that should be the only thing left.

Thanks! It passed the inspection with flying colors except for a blown rear taillight which I haven't noticed. I got a bulb right after the inspection, went to get it reinspected and it was good. Went got the emissions done and registered it the same day. The title will come back rebuilt, which is fine with me.

GREAT JOB!

After putting it back together, the fuel pumps didn't want to go on. I called Chuck, and he pointed me right to the problem without even being there. The fuel pump wasn't grounded. BTW, do I need to ground both pumps or just the dirver side one??
Thanks again....

In CT it comes back rebuilt, but I know in some states it stays Salvaged.
