long time no post.
Rear end is finish welded
Drilled and tapped steam ports 1/8npt
Most of the welding is done on the chassis for the 4 link.
I'm starting to get back on it. Thinking I'm going to go microsquirt instead of ms2

I know it's probably too late to say that, but concerning the Turbo location, make sure you leave room to add a spreader bar.
You want a spreader bar, that's probably the best 100$ you can spend to upgrade the handling of a C3.

This create an hard link between the upper A-arms, and brace the front crossmember, preventing it from flexing.
See why I would interfere with your turbo.
Vansteel sell them, but you can also get it from Eckler or Zip.
I made mine from parts and weld bits of metal.

that looks simple enough I think i can work it in I was a little worried anyway about the front crossmember anyway if this thing ever pulls the wheels up and lands hard not alot there to keep everything square

Motor mounts finished up trans and motor put in.
Picked up a new microsquirt, wiring harness and 8 coils
The harness is jacked looks like a monkey wired it got to cut it back to the clean wires and start over but there's plenty of length to work with

Chang directions on the build. Put the turbo in my buddies s10. Th400 is going in a mustang I bought.
Picked up a glide, tci transbrake, 1.80 sonnax premium straight cuts, tci converter
4150 throttle body, going to put a direct port dry kit on it, 160lb Bosch injectors
Planning on a Holley 300-137 intake
And a set of long tubes off a camaro if they will fit.

The motor being offset in these cars is what's killing the turbo. I could make some custom headers and make it work but I am tired of the car sitting on the side line and to make the stock manifolds work I would have to cut more out of the frame than I am comfortable with so I nixed that plan. Meanwhile I ls swapped a s10 and through the turbo and injectors in it.
