b10h4z4rd Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Well over this weekend, I had the upper radiator hose burst on me. I also have had a problem when downshifting or letting off the accelorator and I let out a nice blue cloud of burning oil. Since the motor has been rebuilt but the turbo hasn't, I'm hoping it's a turbo seal and not a piston ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b10h4z4rd Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I was able to pull off the intake hose to the turbo, it has some major radial play in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 In what year do you think you'll be able to drive the car? Or are you just rebuilding this car for fun/pleasure and have something else to drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1h4iL Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Glad to hear you got the turbo, it has been a while. Make sure to show us pictures once it is in :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b10h4z4rd Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 I actually got it in last night, but now the starter is junk, I just picked up a remanufactured one. Going to try to get it in tonight so I can possibly drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksoft Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 One of my dreams have always been to take a junk (or close) car and make it a beauty. Unfortunately, a car is not a computer and I barely know how to change the oil myself. :( But I bope your project is coming along great man, good luck.

b10h4z4rd Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) I got the starter installed today and drove around. I still need to rewire the knock sensors. Edited July 16, 2008 by biohazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b10h4z4rd Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I almost want to sell this car now. I'm at the point where I need a garage to do things and the 1 or 2 hours I can work on the car after work isn't cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 oh, I thought this was a secondary vehicle. Ya, it's hard to have to rely on a project car for day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
