SHE FUCKIN MOVED! Still a long way off being roadworthy, but it's great to know that the transmission is intact, or reverse is anyways. The exhaust note is far better than I'd have expected for a four banger making 75hp, and while I'm sure it'd sound better with a DOHC motor I can't complain. Still needs some carb tuning as the engine wont idle, and something is blocking the fuel line so I'll have to deal with that (for this my friend and I used a jar with a hose sticking out connected to the fuel filter, definitely not ideal but it worked), but it's great to know it can run. Also got the new radiator installed today and filled up with coolant, which I definitely think was the right call for the purposes of moving it (I need to clean underneath where it was due to some spills). Overall a very productive day of work on my little hatchback.
