The Blackbird lives !! Video
We got her to start late last night. Had to rewire the ignition boxes the other shop did, replace a sensor that had melted wires from when they shrink wrapped it and a host of other nightmares...long story short if you build a harness get someone who has done it many times and isn't experimenting with your $$$.
Andy at Speed Werks has been a saint at troubleshooting and fixing the harness and finally getting her started! The moment we have all been dying to see is here...I give you The Blackbird 3.8tt 935 K3 on YouTube: YouTube - K3 Runs Sent from my iPhone |
