oh well., I got the "new" turbo motor in the car & running....good to hear her alive again, but SETBACK!!! the turbo is blown, or at least the oil seal is.... she's dumping oil through the downpipe & smoking up a storm..... gotta find a turbo before I can go any further with this, just stuck it back in the garage for now..... hope she don't wind up hibernating another 10 years..... na, I'll get her going for the spring I think

nope, not for sale 
no real updates.... she's sitting in a garage with a fresh grand national mild drivetrain, needs a turbo..... needs the interior finished & a whole new pc system..... needs some really expensive custom rims.... probably 18's & 20's....
I might get her running & take her to the track this season & give her a little excercise, but this is still even a big maybe... gotta start hitting ebay looking for turbo's...
I have too many projects going on to start working on her again..... someday she'll be back with a vengence..... someday..... I got patience....

Ironically enough I am doing my carputer install for tuning and not as a means of entertainment. I'll be using the megasquirt 2.0 for fuel and ignition tuning via the PC.
When you bring this car back are you going to up the turbo size (looks like a T25 equivilent to me) and put a bigger (shinier?) FMIC as well (im again guess that FMIC is 24" x 12" )
I like those cars, well I like all fast cars, and its great to see where in car computing got its roots.
Please be sure to keep us updated
