Update:

Got the turbo back in. Mounted up the powder steering pump and started on intalling the Radiator. Still got the transfer case and downpipe to install. Then I can start adding the fluids back. Still got alot to do.

Almost got her back together. Just got to do a couple little things.

 

[bobdole]

Got some more stuff installed. Downpipe and cat. Also filled all the fluids. Just got a few more things to do and she will be running /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Started her up today. Almost a year since it ran. Took alittle bit for the idle to come down, but she purs great. Just got to bleed the rear power steering and get the car aligned. The exhaust sounds really good. Got to detail the whole car. I would say an inch of dust ;(

[sy1100]

To reach into the trunk from the back seat.... Why is it that at least 2 people have never opened the rear arm rest? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

it's more for getting skis/ski poles or any other long skinny objects through for storage - but also doubles as access to the trunk from the back seat.

Exhaust video clip. Haven't fixed the exhaust yet.
