It sounds like you drained the battery. Did you disconnect the battery in the trunk before you began work?

I was thinking battery too, thats the tell tale sign of the starter not quite able to push the impeller out and onto to the flywheel.
The battery in these cars will only last about 30 mins with the ignition on.
