How much pleasure when after years of hope, your car runs like new.Click to view attachment

Would you care to expound on that?

Congratulations!

"your car runs like new" - is not in a mechanically induced coma on jack stands, starts when the key is turned, stops when the brake pedal it pushed, and changes gears when the clutch is disengaged and the shift lever is moved (usually, but not necessarily, into the intended gear).

Beautiful color...care to post a better shot of the car?

I agree, we need more/better pictures of the car.
