I got mine started too! Wow. Too much disbelief to actually have joy, though, by that time!

What you don't want: Don't us MSCeditor to wire the care, because I think the game developer put some entries in to trick you. I.E. entries for 'wiringbolted' that should remain false, whereas generally you want anything that is supposed to be bolted, well, bolted.

What you do want: Everything wired up, incl. the battery itself (with the black wire attached and fastened last) and the starter and the ignition. Starter has to be unscrewed in two places, I believe, with a 7mm and a 5mm, wire attached then rescrewed/bolted.
Engine assembled completely.
Battery charged! I had bought a new battery but I don't know if the game was messing with me or what, but it seems the (new!) battery was only at a 40% charge. I didn't notice this in MSCeditor because the battery is listed in a different file. And I didn't think to even check it because the battery was new, and I was worried about the wiring (i.e. assuming that the problem was with the battery).

Glad I stuck with it, as opposed to giving up on the game before getting the Satsuma running! It drives a lot better than the van does, a lot easier on the dirt roads, but now I just need to get that top speed up!
