After some more work I was able to get the engine buttoned up and ready to go. I began working on the interior smell and stains. After pulling everything in the interior but the dash I was able to begin cleaning it. I rented a RugDoctor with the Hand Tool from work and shampoo'd the carpet, seats, and trunk. This took care of all the stains and most of the smell. After vacuuming out the car, and washing it all out the smell is almost all gone. I left the fuel lines off to pump the tank. When I went to jump the relay for the fuel pump and nothing. After some testing and wire jumping I have come to conclusion that the fuel pump is bad, not uncommon for a car that has been sitting for 9 years. I have a spare pump that I can install overnight sometime this week. After knowing the fuel pump was bad, I wanted to test to see if the car would at least crank. Turned the key, and nothing. I traced some wires down, thinking it was a bad ground, and found a wire that got snagged while putting the engine in and broke the terminal at the end. Fixed the terminal with a new wire and it cranks!!! Now I just have to reinstall the interior, install the fuel pump, install new rear brake lines, and fill it with fluids then I can begin to polish the outside and enjoy it!</p></blockquote><p></p>
