Oh This Feels Sooooo Good!!!!

Just got my Black 83 tagged this morning and took it to work. First time this car has legally been tagged since 4/00. Bought it 11/98 with a horrendous rod knock and a free motor from my uncle. Well, 3 and a half years later and numerous engine remove /reinstalls/repairs it is finally done !!!!! I know many people on this board would disagree with all of the Blood, sweat, cursing and all I have endured but man it feels good to finish the project and drive the car (without it crapping out)
