I just picked this up today from the local u pull it. Garrett gt35turbo according to garretts website. It was rebuilt recently, has no shaft play and spins smooth. The couple little marks are from me being a dumb ass with my blow tip.the reason it looks so dirty is from me cleaning it with degreaser and brakleen, the dirty marks are actually clear coat. It looks like I have some decisions to make

I actually found out that prep solvent removes that wax coating off really easy, just spray it on a rag and wipe it off.later today, I'm gonna try to finish cleaning the engine compartment and sand everything that has scratches or rust and get ready to paint the engine compartment

I haven't had any time to get anything done this week, so this morning I moved it over by the shop door and washed off all of the body dust, and washed the degreaser off of the engine compartment.

I also started the shifter mod, I drilled the hole 30mm shorter, and I shortened the fluid tube and welded it back together. Tomorrow I'll finish it up

Here is a view from inside the tank, most of the rust and white residue is from when I cleaned it out with purple power

Sanded the gas tank to clean it up and paint, I put down a coat of etch primer and found several pin holes, this one whole area is pitted pretty bad. Debating whether or not to patch it
