Well, I took the starter apart and cleaned it out. Managed to put it back together. Bench tested it by connecting the battery directly to it and got nothing. Just a spark when I touch the wire to the starter.

Well, I am selling the engine. So I havent decided if I am going to get another starter or let who ever buys the engine deal with it.

I have to pull the engine and might put it on a stand and rebuild it too.

But right now I am focusing on stripping the car down. Started on the interior this week.

I have a picture in my mind of the end result. The car has been sitting in my garage for almost 3 weeks and have planned out almost everything for it before I started stripping it down.
