Other than that, I have no suggestions.

Yeah, I tried pull starting it before and it didn't start, but that was also when I had that bad battery, then again that would be a reason why you would push start your car. lol It might also take more than what I tried, as it's pretty much a new motor, but a good battery is very important on these car's I'm finding. I've got some pneumatic jacks, and I'm thinking about lifting the rear, wrapping the free end of one of this 3000lb ratchet straps used in the oilfield around one of the rear tires, and pulling it with a truck or dirt bike. Lol! I told my buddy that, and he said he's actually seen it successfully done. That makes me more inclined to try. So, what I have done so far is add another ground wire to the starter, (the one I just got) and it doesn't make that whine anymore when I press the ignition. I just get a few hard clicks from the solenoid on the starter, but still nothing. I've read about other post with very similar issues, but none of them ever came back with a solution to their problem. Here's an updated video of what it is doing now.
