Are we gonna resurect this page in December so we can check on ourselves? 
I'm going to...
Finish the groadster turbo build another words:
1. buy seals for the S5 engine and stick it together
2. buy a clutch kit for it
3. restore the harness from the current "ball" of FC and FB wires to something resembling a harness
4. buy either a J-tek 4 port mani or a Racing beat mani and a pair of weld adaptors for the exhaust
5. buy an exhaust gas analyser (whoo hoo no more borrowing) and tune a turbo carby
6. fix anything that might come up on it that I am not aware of as of now
The old 79 ain't gonna get crap. It gets the DD treatment untill the red one is ready to bear the burden. Then it meets "white shores" and a good restoration in 2015.
