thought id update..
tranny still a bit laggy.. i still have to rev it to get it to move, but it IS driveable!!
so far i have driven it back+forth to work twice, and to school once, where it was then aligned for free!!
i had an overheating problem (as well as a non working temp gauge...) i think the overheating was the fan.. i just gounded it so its always on.. i live in Pittsburgh anyways
temp gauge still does not work.
alt belt was LOUD and squeaky, JUST fixed that.. also got a couple of rattles im about to go out and take care of (lose coolant tube and a heat sheild..) BUT MAN AM I GETTING THERE!!
things to do:
replace fuel filter
replace brakelines + bleeder screws
get new CV boot on it ASAP.
Get an ebrake
sound system
carpet
hood scoop (you know cut a line in the front.. i always liked that one..)
here she is!

For your temp gauge, it may sound stupid, but is it plugged in right? it does plug in both ways. I had to unplug mine cause the unit went bad, and plugged it in backwards, couldn't figure out why the guage didn't work..I felt real smart.
Cars looking good though.

Check to make sure your radiator fluid is filled and burped. Fill it in the front and in the back and keep checking the back. Try to get as much air out of the system as you can by rocking the car when you fill it or just before to try and get more air pockets out of the system. Make sure you do this when the coolant is "cool."

Be careful of the wiring between the battery and the engine. The wiring harness runs close to the water pump pulley and I've had wires get rubbed by the belt or pulley until it cut right through them. My luck it was the Orange ECM power wire - so the car was dead in the water until I figured out what the problem was.
