Good luck. If you need any help or advice, hit me up and I can point you in the right direction. It would nice to have another turbo first gen locally. Just make sure you take your time to get everything right the first time.

I know the feeling

Do you think you'll have her done by mid July?..........ZOOM-FEST!!!!!!!

I would love to see your car and as many Turbo FB's as possible, I hope mine is ready.....It feels great when other rotorheads appreciate the hard work you've done. Road Atlanta is really cool and the event is very affordable. Good luck with your project
