My 1979 SA widebody turbo

Hey I just picked up a new project. Its a widebody sa that was built quite some time ago. It has an old school hks weber 48 ida blow through turbo setup on it with a street ported r5 13b engine in it. Anyone ever seen that turbo kit before or have any info on it? Also can anyone identify the body kit on it? Its a really nice clean kit. Not too radical of flares or lines.

Thanks. It's a cool piece but it needs a fair bit of work. Should all be worth it though. I've fixed worse lol.

Unobtanium is for sure. I really don't know the story on the car. I know some people that may have info on it. I will have to do some digging on it.

I remember seeing this for sale pretty much the day after I brought home my GSL-SE parts car and was kicking myself for the terrible timing. Congrats on the buy, I'm incredibly jealous.
